On Sunday November 2, 1997, Francisco Reyes <francisco@natserv.com> had this to say about "Installing XFree86 from ports": > I was trying to install Xfree86 from ports, but when I tried "Make > install" it had an error about missing "X11". Can X11 be installed from mkdir /usr/X11R6 > ports? I once installed Xfree86 by downloading the files from the Xfree > ftp site, but was wondering if there was an easier method. > I just did it last night (over a 28.8K connection no less :( where there was NO PREVIOUS installation of XFree86 on a 2.2-STABLE system. Took quite a while to download 30megs of source code ;) > Which version of Xfree will be with the 2.2.5 CD? 3.3.1 I think...that's what's in the ports. -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S.
