If X doesn't start but breaks with an error (im typing this from memory too) it's probably because you didn't install ports/x11/wrapper or are not using xdm(1). > make installworld (in single user mode) breaks when trying to install a new > version of /usr/lib/libscrypt.so.2 from /usr/src.

What does "sysctl -a|grep secure" say? if you want to install world it has to be: ago@mandark$ sysctl -a |grep secure kern.securelevel: -1 (or maybe 1 would work too, but no higher) > Right now the only option I see to get things back on track with this > server is to start over from the 4.2 cd and forget about X. > No, please don't do that. There's, with a little patience perhaps, a lot better solution.

IMHO, you should continue using FreeBSD. AFAIK it's the best free OS and i tried a lot of them, YMMV. Cheers. --Andre.
