It can still be installed, in the forms of the xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless packages, with just a little extra work (copy a few files). Check out http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable for more information. 2) You can use the binary installer, and install the fink system-xfree86 package. However, the system-xfree86 package shows a 4.1 suffix, so it may not work properly with 4.2 . > > _______________________________________________ > Fink-beginners mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners -- Alexander K.
