 had this to say about "Installing XFree86 from ports":

mkdir /usr/X11R6

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.
