4.11-RELEASE install error

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Scratch the entire thing and start over.  Next time, do the minimal
install, and do NOT do an x-user install.  Do not install ports.

Once the system is running, cvsup a current ports collection then
make install on x, gnome, & kde.

What is supplied with 4.11-release is old and a number of utilities -
like firefox - will not build on it anymore.
