On my machine: [root@castor root]# find /usr/X11R6/ | wc 4384 4384 184110 [root@castor root]# that is, about 4500 files. I'm using about 60MB of disk for this. > I chose to install X distribution again using the custom method, but it > stopped when I boot up another BSD having the same ip, but my question i.e., another box? Yes, that will ruin the networking. This might be why the X installation is not visible. > is why it install the bin again when I chose to install the X-user > distribution, it will cost me a lot of time. I think you may have to do this, though. > Anyway I didn't see XFree86 when I run pkg_info -a -a |more, I can't > understand why it isn't there when I have chosen All option during > installation. > > My monitor is HP (Super vga), and 72Hz in vga mode(I get this from bios > setup), don't know what vga card, it's in built in the mother board, my > pc is a HP Vectra VE 5/75, mouse is ps/2. This should all eventually work. I'm puzzled why the X installation failed, though. My guess is that the conflicting IP numbers might have ruined something.
