Ok, I've set the XWINHOME variable properly, however, now when I run
XF86Setup I get an error stating that the VGA16 server is required.  I
installed this server with the original installization of XFree86.  But,
none-the-less, I went back into /stand/sysinstall and chose to install that
server again....I picked the cdrom medium, then a short screen flashed and
nothing seemed to happen.  I then reinstalled XFree86 including the VGA16
and SVGA servers.  Everything reinstalled, but still it says its missing
the VGA16 server.
I guess I'm lost as what to do next...
Help please.
