Mike, My girlfriend was in the same boat. She had installed XF86-3 via sysinstall at the time of original installation a few weeks ago. Since then, she had decided to install 4.01_3 and just built it from ports, and configured as normal. I hate to be the one to disappoint, but it doesn't seem like it'll be much of a problem. You could always wipe out your /dev directory for a little excitement! -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of }Michael Lucas }Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 2:13 PM }To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: deleting XF863 w/o package? } } }Hello, } }I'd like to install xf86-4, simply because my machine is performing }too well and I need some system disruptions to improve my sysadmin }skills. } }xf86-3 was installed at sysinstall.
