Umm . . . perhaps I'm confused, but I think that 4.4-RELEASE (that is, the
CD, does have 4.1.0, but it's not what you get if you ask for X, that's still
3.3.6 or something. That is, the X 4.x packages are there but you have to
install it as a package, not as a pre-formed configuration.
(BTW, will 4.5 default-intall X 4 or X3?)
