Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 20:52:15 -0700 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <01040720521500.01793@pravda.tenzo.net> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi... I've installed "All" of FreeBSD 4.2 which included XFree86-3.3.6_4. My intention is to use XFree86-4.0.3 (with KDE 2), so one of my first tasks is to remove the older version of XFree86. I've been told that I can install XFree86-4 on top of 3.3.6 -- but I'm a contrary kinda guy and I would feel better knowing that I'd removed the countless bits and pieces of the previous version first. So...here's my question... Why doesn't going to /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and entering "make deinstall" do what I want? Instead I get a message saying that XFree86-3.3.6_4 is not installed. Same thing when I do "pkg_delete XFree86-3.3.6_4". (I also tried every variation on the name I could think of.) Either 4.2 installs a _different_ version of XFree86 than it's placed in the default ports collection -- or I'm simply not using the right command to remove it. Can you shed some light? Thanks!
