I installed this server with the original installization of XFree86. But, none-the-less, I went back into /stand/sysinstall and chose to install that server again....I picked the cdrom medium, then a short screen flashed and nothing seemed to happen. I then reinstalled XFree86 including the VGA16 and SVGA servers. Everything reinstalled, but still it says its missing the VGA16 server. I guess I'm lost as what to do next... Help please.
