I'm a bit confused by packages and ports and although I've read the handbook and "The Complete FreeBSD", I still have a question or two. I've installed 4.3-Release from CD and used cvsup to get to 4.3-Stable. My video card, a GeForce2, wasn't supported in XFree86-3.3.6 so I installed XFree86-4.1.0 instead. Various ports and packages have dependancy information but it appears to be for XFree86-3.3.6 so what happens to my XFree86-4.1.0 if I install one of these ports or packages? I've seen people talk about installing the port for a package. Is this like installing the sources for a set of binaries? Thanks for your help.
