We were having exactly this discussion over on freebsd-stable@... just
now.
Actually, for a fresh install on a system without any X ports already
installed, you're better off doing this:
mkdir /usr/X11R6
sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
and then carry on installing everything. Or you can do the following
by hand (which just duplicates the effect mergebase.sh ultimately
has):
cd /usr
ln -sf local X11R6
cd /etc
echo local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d" >> rc.conf
echo local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic" >> periodic.conf
sed -i.save -e '/X11R6/s/^/#/' manpath.config
Cheers,
Matthew
