Sysinstall seems to connect to ftp.freebsd.org OK, then gives me a message "Fixing permissions in XFree86 tree" at which point the download quietly dies and returns me to sysinstall's Configuration menu. Any ideas? The /usr/X11R6 directory is owned by root:wheel. I tried deleting the '/usr/X11R6' tree hoping sysinstall would rebuild it the way it wanted, but all it did was die faster :-( Had I installed XFree when I installed FreeBSD, would 'make world' have rebuilt X (does cvsupping 'src-all' fetch the latest X sources, too?) Only other odd thing I can think of is I made world with the -DNOAOUT option.
