Oh, agreed to that. However, there are still more changes needed beyond that: Stopping the system running periodic jobs from /usr/X11R6/etc/periodic Stopping the system running startup scripts from /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d Stopping the system searching for manpages from /usr/X11R6/man The last is fairly trivial, but realise that the first two mean that with the /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/local link in place all /usr/local/etc/periodic jobs would get run twice, and even more importantly all /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ startup scripts would also run twice. Until there are new system releases incorporating the necessary changes in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/periodic.conf it will be necessary to override some of the default settings. In /etc/rc.conf: local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d" In /etc/periodic.conf: local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic" and for completeness sake, comment out the 'X11R6' lines in /etc/manpath.conf Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGWbri8Mjk52CukIwRCI9IAJ9ENBHBtRtxaiheAjAOyfo2PBadKACfQhn7 GcCE3wr0BoZEX9a6NgeTEHk= =ZTdB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
