Thank you Chris,
Your advice is to download .tgz files, but I have already downloaded
the XFree4.02 rpm source file. I've just finished to rebuild the
files from the source file, and now I have the following files built :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1274861 Jan 18 22:01
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10686424 Jan 18 22:01 XFree86-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1101761 Jan 18 22:01
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 622913 Jan 18 22:02

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1675192 Jan 18 22:02
XFree86-Xvfb-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 385112 Jan 18 22:01
XFree86-cyrillic-fonts-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1967017 Jan 18 22:01
XFree86-devel-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9273769 Jan 18 22:02 XFree86-doc-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 622058 Jan 18 22:02
XFree86-glide-module-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2128405 Jan 18 22:01
XFree86-libs-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6343726 Jan 18 22:02
XFree86-server-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1756340 Jan 18 22:01
XFree86-static-libs-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 422201 Jan 18 22:02 XFree86-xfs-4.0.2-4mdk.i686.rpm
Is it enuf ??
With my XFree3.3.6 install, I saw that I have the following files
not created for Xfree4.02 :
XFree86-XF86Setup
XFree86-ISO8859-2-75dpi-fonts
XFree86-SVGA
XFree86-VGA16
XFree86-server-common
Do I have to find them for this upgrade ?
Do I need anything else ?
Thank you. Francois
