hi,


i briefly browsed through FAQ and handbook but didn't find an answer to
my question. i'm
new to FreeBSD. basically i have a installation problem: after the
initial installtion of 3.0  i
decided to go for some instereting packages such as "games:)" etc...
but it looks like anything
that is X related couldn't be successfully installed (aborted) because
pkg_add seems trying to
locate a package named "XFree86-3.3.2" but without luck. i did install
and configure the XFree86
stuff and the Xwin system is working on my desktop.

any help and insight on how i can get around this would be greatly
appreciated. by the way i just
noticed that release 2.2.8 is using XFree86-3.3.3 whereas 3.0 is using
XFree86-3.3.2. interesting.


thanks.
