It was way off course, so I=C2=B4m rewrit= ing. No, I can rebuild X11 if I can solve the following problem: Strange problem here. /usr/local got wiped for no reason I can think of. Eve= rything. Nothing there at all. I can=C2=B4t=20 even change the pw. Nothing on this build anyway. But went to rebuild (6.2)=20= and=20 got caught in a loop -- note, that=C2=B4s a loop -- in these steps: -- Select Drive -- FDISK Partition Editor ("Q") -- Install Boot Manager I would prefer to rebuild (note: rebuild) because I want to add X Windows (t= hat=C2=B4s ADD X) and I=C2=B4d rather not=20 have to rebuild the kernel. How can I wipe the drive? If I cannot rebuild, c= an I=20 just add the ports? What about changing pw?
