Hi,

I'm doing my first install with fink. Yesterday I installed Apple's X11 for
Panther from the 3rd panther install disk.

I let my fink install (of Subversion) run overnight. This morning the
following appears on the screen:

> Selecting previously deselected package xfree86.
> (Reading database ... 4423 files and directories currently installed.)
> Unpacking xfree86 (from .../xfree86_4.3.99.901-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
> WARNING: if you compile X11 applications against this XFree86 release,
> you will *not* be able to run them if you decide to revert to Apple's
> X11 provided with Panther.
> 
> You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
> This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to

I wasn't able to parse it to understand EXACTLY what I should do,
particularly, I don't know what is meant by "nstall system-xfree86 resp.
system-xtools." I don't know what "resp." is an abbreviation for.

I do want to keep the Panther X11 installation.

Any advice?
