I just installed FreeBSD 2.1.7 (I think) and I am trying to get
XFree86 to work. I try to run the Setup program and it won't execute.
In fact it seems like many programs won't execute. Am I missing
something. Say I go into the X11 directory and want to run XFree86 for
the first time. What would I type? Documentation on this OS is good,
but by nature it covers to many configs.
