How do I change the installation > path? 18.5 Gigabytes! (are you sure that's not megabytes?) Okay, that's a problem. Hopefully it's your main problem. Since you only have bash and tcsh installed from ports/packages, I would hazard a very educated guess that it's safe to remove anything under /usr/X11R6. What's there is -probably- from installing XFree86-3.3.6 during main installation. This doesn't come from a package, so it's not listed in /var/db/pkg. So... Cross your fingers and do: rm -rf /usr/X11R6 Then go try to make install the XFree86-4 port. You shouldn't have to change the installation path at all.
