Hello

- Need to upgrade to the latest XFree86
- I issued the following commands

1)tar xvf xfree86xxx.tar -C /somewhere/tmp/
2)cd /usr/X11R6/
3)chmod 755 /somewhere/tmp/xfree86xxxx/preinst.sh
4)chmod 755 /somewhere/tmp/xfree86xxxx/postinst.sh
5)chmod 755 /somewhere/tmp/xfree86xxxx/extract
6)/somewhere/tmp/xfree86xxxx/preinst.sh
7)/somewhere/tmp/xfree86xxxx/extract /var/tmp/xfree86xxxx/*.tgz
8)/somewhere/tmp/xfree86xxxx/postinst.sh
9)shutdown -r now


When it reboots I typed : -

man XFree86

Shows XFree863.3.5

When it should be XFree863.3.6

Question

1) Is their a simpler like pkg_add XFree863.3.6.tgz.? Can't find it on the
BSD website

2) From what I did above what seems to be wrong?
