This was a clean install. I`m building my mp3 box on that computer: started=
=20
with clean install of 6.2, cvsuped to stable, cvsuped ports, and then=20
installed the tightvnc port (I didn`t install the x11/xorg meta port) and=20
tried to start it. Then it said that it cannot find xauth, so I installed i=
t,=20
then it complained about the "fixed" font, so I`v just installed the meta=20
xorg-fonts port to make life easier :) and I have the symlink, one of the=20
ports that tightvnc depends on created it.
