I have a problem. The intial installation went on fine and my system now runs FreeBSD. But I am unable to install X11R6/XFree86 even though it is listed under the packages sub-menu. sysinstall says that it is unable to add package XFree86 3.1.2. And also I am unable to run any games. sysinstall says that the games I selected have been installed succesfully, but the games directories under /usr/games/hide are all empty (after setting the proper perms). Except for these I must say I am very pleased with the operation of FreeBSD. It has proved to be very stable. Please reply at the earliest.
