That's why it's packaged with the CD. Personally, I prefer 4 since it runs lighter on my old laptop. Since I run it behind the firewall, and all the machines here are trusted, it's not a big concern for me. But that's my choice. You need to make yours. As someone pointed out recently, if you run v4, you can add a line in the /etc/make.conf XFREE86_VERSION=4 to satisfy the apps looking for the xf86 installation. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of }youlgok@attglobal.net }Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 6:51 AM }To: FreeBSD-Stable }Subject: 4.2-stable and XFree86 } } }Hi, All: } }I just installed 4.2-stable-20001211 along with Xfree86. }Which XFree86 }version comes with 4.2-stable?
