The following reply was made to PR misc/7371; it has been noted by GNATS. From: System Operator <sysop@its4.plymouth.edu> To: =?X-UNKNOWN?Q?Dag-Erling_Coidan_Sm=F8rgrav?= <smoergrd@oslo.geco-prakla.slb.com> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc/7371: Install floppy install of XFree86 does not work Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1998 08:50:54 -0400 (EDT) Yes I did install over FTP, from ftp.cdrom.com. However, the problem occurs when I do a "custom" install the "X" toggle for the top level Xfree86 distribution never togglet to an "X" (all the things inside do) but since the top level is untoggled it never installs the XFree86 distributions.
