You might want to replace "barfing" with an actual description of the problem.

I wouldn't cvsup src to . unless you plan on developing.

Do as you feel you must, but I installed 5.1-RELEASE and X from ports and it's

xdm at boot? If you use startx, I believe you need to install x-wrapper to get
around permission issues.
