I have an Intel 810E motherboard with celeron 433 IntelPro 100 Nic IDE 2 Gb KTX 14" monitor etc etc. I have the 4.2 Disk set (just arrived and wish to install it with X windows (I have never before been successful installing X on 2.x and 3.x and gave up! I ma about to give up again...I hope not sysinstall wants to install X11 333 or similar version. It doesn't support my video card I810. I was told to get X 4.x via ftp and install that. It supports my card. Yep it does but I am stumped. Many and various install problems. Problem A: I found the X 4.1 in packages on my CD 4 disk in the set! So I figured I'd use sysinstall and install the packages xserver.tgz etc. It was working but Xaoutlibs.tgz (I think) and xserver.tgz hang at "waiting for pkg_add" It seems to unpack but then dies! I therefor can't continue...tgz on cd corrupt??????or what!? Problem B: I then tried going to ftp and downloading the XFREE86 .tgz files and extract and xinstall.sh etc from the /pub/Xfree86/4.0.2/binaries/FreeBSD-4.x directory Took a while to download... followed instructios to run xinstall and it ran but erred on some of the obligatory file unpacks etc etc... Couldn.t then run x86cfg or XFREE86 -configure So did x86config and did the biz. tried to do a startx and ...nothing but "no such" errors etc. HELP!
