Hello,

After reading freeBSD's handbook on installing x11, I have some simple 
questions.

I'm running 5.2.1 and wish to get xorg running.

/usr/ports/x11/xorg does not exist.

pkg_add -r xorg Just tells me that the file cannot be found.

I've tried to upgrade to a newer version that comes with x11, but 
everytime I chose Upgrade I can never find a passive FTP server that has 
5.2.1/release available.

>From my position, what is the easiest way to get xorg running (not 
XFree86)?

Regards,

Nic Reveles
