[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I am going to install FreeBSD 4.2 on one of my machines today. I have installed FreeBSD several times on different machines but I have a few questions. I am going to need to run XFree86 4 (which I will install from the ports collection) and KDE 2 (which I am not planning on installing from the ports collection) on this machine, when installing FreeBSD do I need to select an X user install? If I don't select the X user install and I install XFree86 4 and KDE 2 will everything run properly? My primary concern is not having files from 3.3.6 hanging around that I do not need. If this isn't the best way to accomplish this I welcome your suggestions and feedback. Thanks in advance, Jason Sheets BSD is for people who love Unix - Linux is for people who hate Microsoft [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4611.1300" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am going to install FreeBSD 4.2 on one of my machines today.
