The same is true for Netscape. > Do I need to specify another URL (ftp address)? If you've already got FreeBSD up, don't use sysinstall to install XFree86.

Be sure to get the VGA16 server so you can run XF86Setup. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters Softweyr LLC http://www.xmission.com/~softweyr softweyr@xmission.com
