Hi Don, I'm using FreeBSD3.2 and XFCE 3.1.1 ( just upgraded ). I used the = xfce-3.1.1-freebsd.i386.bin.tar.gz that is available on the = http://www.xfce.org site ( click on downloads ). You must have several = support packages that xfce needs to operate. GTK+ libraries and Xpm3.4k = etc. must be installed for Xfce to work. In the packages section of the = FreeBSD site, see what libraries are need to support Xfce, install those = and then install xfce-3.1.1. BTW, the xfce-3.1.1 MUST be installed from the root '/' slice (it dumps = every thing into /usr/X11R6 /usr/share and so forth ) with the xfce = 3.1.1 release the desktop has gone into turbo, its extremely fast! If you have anymore questions feel free to email. Michael Akers ---------- From: outlawtx@bga.com [SMTP:outlawtx@bga.com] Sent: Sunday, September 26, 1999 8:32 AM To: Michael W.
