Hello! I have bought the FreeBsd 3.0 Walnut cdrom, and the following problem appears: When trying to install a window manager package included in the walnut cdrom package, the system says it can't find the xfree3.3.2 package on the cdrom which should also have to be installed. I didn't find the XFree3.3.2 package on the cdrom neither on the freebsd site. Does this package exist? Of course I have installed the XFree86 distribution set from the cdrom (including sources, fonts, etc...), configuring Xfree86 (mouse, video card etc..) and I can use Xinit with the default window manager quite well. But no way to install any Xpackage due to this message! I try then to install my window manager package with the '-f' option wich force package creation without looking at other package dependencies, but then when trying to start my Window client, the system says it can't find some specific Xlibrairies.... Have anyone already heard about this problem? what can I do if I want to install a window manager with the current freebsd3.0 walnut cd rom? (note: I had the 2.2.6 freebsd Walnut cdrom, and this problem never appears with this version). Thanks for your help!
