Ports? I never talked about ports. I just meant someone that installs a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE from CD (which is the way most of non-experts use) and installs all his applications and of course X11 from the packages available on these CDs, then the informations for the fonts or xdm will be just wrong. -- Marc _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
