I've gathered together the images (.scr) for updating the Handbook Installation section for 4.6-RELEASE as well as a few other minor message modifications. I'll be committing these shortly. The one area that will still need updating in section 2 (installation) is configuring X during sysinstall. There are 3 methods: xf86cfg Fully graphical XFree86 configuration tool. xf86cfg-textmode ncurses-based XFree86 configuration tool. xf86config Shell-script based XFree86 configuration tool. I'm still testing each of these methods and (to me) it seems that the xf86config would be the easiest for new users. I have gotten this to work fine after installation, but it produces a configuration failure error during sysintall. I'll be looking at this again either later tonight or tomorrow. Has anyone else been doing fresh installs and testing the various configuration methods for XFree86? If so, which ones have you had success with and would recommend for new users to use during sysinstall? Randy btw, my old email address (rpratt@ezwv.com) is defunct.
