I initially told BSD to load the XUser source - thus not registering X as existing. I then, after upgrading my ports, decided to install X again, with a newer version. This install failed, during the series of ln's and rm's, saying it couldn't deal with one of the files. Question: Can I just d/l X from the source, or do I need the BSD patches? jason -- Jason Bennett, jbennett@cc.gatech.edu | Member, Team OS/2!
