Stuff in the Xf86336 directory of the FreeBSD 4.2 CDROM did get put onto my hard-drive in the XF86336 directory, but I don't know if everything that should have been transferred was transferred; particularly I can't find the config and setup files (I am using the names used in FreeBSD 3.3 because they appear in Greg Lehey's book). What do I do to configure X windows and start it running, and where do I find this information in the documentation that came with FreeBSD 4.2 ? Please send the response directly back to me, in addition to sending it to hackers , as the volume of mail to hackers is so great that I could very easily miss the response if it were only sent there (and you may omit this paragraph from any response). _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
