------=_NextPart_001_0000_01C21C5A.8FC85360 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="big5" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable When I try to install XFree86 with sysinstall, using DOS, it can find the= INDEX and everything, but it can't find freetype2-2.0.9 and thus can't l= oad XFree86-libraries-4.2.0_1 and XFree86-FontServer-4.2.0 either. I chec= ked, and freetype2-2.0.9 wasn't even on the FreeBSD ftp site, so I went e= lsewhere and found it and copied it into the x11-servers, x11, and x11-fo= nts folders just to make sure. Still, sysinstall couldn't find it. Coul= d somebody please tell me how to get X installed?! I am installing everything on my laptop by downloading the required files= to the DOS partition under C:/FreeBSD/.../... and then booting up FreeBS= D on teh second partition and running sysinstall. What files do you actu= ally need to run XFree86? I just downloaded everything in the x11 directo= ry and everything starting with "XFree86" in x11-servers and x11-fonts. Also, why do people always put a number in brackets after every command? = For example, ls(1). BTW, yes, I am a newbie. Thanks in advance. :)Get more from the Web.
