I have had nothing but grief since updating to the new Xorg-7.2
version on my PC. Unexplained crashes, lockups, etc. No doubt, some of
the problems are my fault; however I cannot seem to get them corrected.
Now, I was wondering how this would work.
1) Download a fresh ISO of FreeBSD-6.2 on to another PC
2) Erase my HDs on the PC presently running FBSD
3) Reformat the HDs
4) Install the fresh copy of FBSD
Will that give me a system that I can directly install Xorg-7.2 on to
or do I still have to go through the procedure shown in the "UPDATING"
file? Suppose I install Xorg-7.2 doing the actual install of FBSD;
will that make any difference? In any case, I would build a new kernel
ASAP after the new install.
Thanks!
