That is indeed the case. The fink packages for 10.1 are essentially frozen, with ongoing support continuing for 10.2 only. The updates to system-xfree86 came about mainly due to issues presented by Apples's X11, which isn't supposed to work on 10.1, anyway.
That being said, system-xfree86 doesn't actually really install anything, so one may well be able to use a 10.2 version on 10.1 . On Tue, 2003-02-11 at 09:51, Jeffry C.
