One bad result of this may be that your fink database will think you have the old version of X still installed, so that it will claim that updates are available that may be older than your existing version.
Ideally, you would want to remove xfree86-base and xfree86-server (or xfree86-rootless), use your installer, and then install system-xfree86. This is painful, however, because you probably have packages that depend on having X11 installed. If you're brave, you may want to do the uninstallation at the dpkg level, via 'sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends' On 2/3/02 3:28 PM, "Adrian and Marie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I initially installed Xfree86 Via Fink.
