Hi,

I wanted to draw attention to what I consider a fairly big problem with the
installation of X from the 4.6 snapshots.  This has the potential to confuse
a lot of people.
         
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=37863 shows two seperate problems,
but the more important one is that 'wrapper' is not installed during the
installation of X.  If you don't use xdm (or something similar), X won't start
up from the console, which I consider to be a fairly large flaw.
