Yes--the force-remove is only if you have other packages that depend on X11. > > 6) Now, this 'moving-out-of-the-way' -- does that mean renaming to > something that is not recognized, or do I need to really move certain > directories out of the search path?

Just rename them to something that is unrecognized: in the case of /usr/X11R6 this simultaneously removes the files from the search path. You could try the installer, but I don't think it's necessary. > > 7) Can I just go wild and delete directories like /usr/X11R6, and > /Applications/XDarwin, and /etc/X11? > Or would that cause chaos? Remove the system-xfree86 package first, and all will be well. When you install xfree86(-base and -rootless, -threaded or not), /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11 (actually a symbolic link, now) and /Applications/XDarwin.app will be created for you. > > Thanks for reading this far... > --Michael > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm > Tungsten T handheld.
