  Liviu Ionescu, did you install 3.0-RELEASE below scenario? 
	First install bin dist files via boot.flp without XFree86,
	Second reboot and install XFree86 via /stand/sysinstall.

  I think 3.0-RELEASE installer has permission problem of /usr/X11R6/bin.

  This problem was already discussed on ports@FreeBSD.ORG mailing
list and fixed by Jordan.

  This essential problem is that sysintall use cpio program to extract
tarball of XFree86.  If tarball has only file entry, does not have
directory entry, like this,

% tar tzvf XSVGA.tgz 
-rwxr-xr-x root/wheel  3041251 Sep 28 22:19 1998 bin/XF86_SVGA

  and there is not bin directory in /usr/X11R6.
  When extract XSVGA.tgz, cpio program creates bin directory with
700 permission.

  I think Old XFree86 tarball has directory entry of /usr/X11R6/bin
and so on, but current tarball doesn't.

  Current sysinstall fix permission of these directories.  I guess
to use GNU tar or extract which is distributed with XFree86.
