I had some trouble getting the update from 10.2 to 10.3 so I wound
up reformatting the partition and deciding to install everything
clean.

I think things went well but so far I have not really been able to
get things to work quite as smoothly as they did before - though I
assume that is simply because getting things to work for 10.3 still
has a way to go.

I am curious - I believe I followed the instructions on the web site.

There were a few parts that confused me.

I saw some references in the list to "installing the Xcode tools and
the X11 SDK" but I thought if I installed the Xcode tools that the
X11 SDK would be installed. Because of notes I read, I thought I
might need a newer version, and I manually installed from the CD
though I am unsure how to check to see if I installed on top of an
existing installation. (Do I need to install anything beyone the
main package on the Xcode CD.)

I download the 0.60 tar. Followed the install instructions more or
less - it seems that they are still the same as for older
versions. There do not seem to be 10.3 specific instructions. I ran
the bootstrap and then ran fink selfupdate-cvs. I tried to install
xv unsuccessfully - I believe I have some problems that I'm hoping
adding unstable to my cvs tree will help. Though I expect to have
some problems still.

Somewhere System=Xfree86 was there and then gone - I've no idea what
happened. xv failed because of a dependency on Xfree86. I thought
the System-Xfree86 would take care of that, but I let xv's install
run figuring that some library might be needed. However, thankfully,
the reason xv finally failed was that fink won't overwrite and
existing X11 installation. I then tried to update/install
System-Xfree86 which displays as installed in a "fink list" but
doesn't quite seem to be recognized as a package when I asked for it
to be installed.

Does anyone have a step-by-step specific to 10.3 so that I can
figure out if I'm making the same old mistakes or a new 10.3
mistake?

Any idea what is happening with Xfree86? Explanations as to what I
might have done, what happened will be appreciated. Anyone know what
to do to fix it?
