--=-p1kUCfgQFA5fgKw8iWRD Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Not to worry Dude, better now rather than never at all! I'm still working out what applications will require rebuilding after upgrading XFree86-3.3.6. You're not the first person to suggest doing an rm -rf on /usr/X11R6, though. Since I installed XFree86-3.3.6 at initial system intallation (via /stand/sysinstall) with FreeBSD CD's, I've had a couple of others suggest that using /stand/sysinstall might actually be the way to go. Still weighing up options here.
