hi:

i downloaded the new 5.3 release (i386 iso disks 1, 2).

i have installed freebsd many times. this release does not have
'XFree86' as a 'Configure' option.

is this me or is there a problem?

thanks,

efs


Hello,

It's you :). From the Release Notes:

FreeBSD now uses Xorg instead of XFree86 as the default X Window
System. The supported release is Xorg X11R6.7.0. Note that XFree86 is
also available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection (x11/XFree86-4).

HTH,

Stheg
