I'm about at my wits end here. I installed FreeBSD 5.3 w/ GNOME 2.6 from
cd. Now I want to install GNOME 2.8 from Gnome Tinderbox -- in other
words /I do not want to use the ports system/, only packages. After
reading the FreeBSD Gnome installation instructions I'll need to:
# setenv PACKAGESITE
http://www.marcuscom.com/tb/packages/5.3-FreeBSD/Latest/
# pkg_add -r gnome2
Now I'm guessing I need to get rid of my current gnome 2.6 packages,
along with my xorg server etc. Is this correct? Is there a quick way to
do this? And once I accomplish that are my 2 steps above correct? I
really need straighforward help at this point. I don't have many nerves
left! :)
Thanks.
