This was a clean install. I`m building my mp3 box on that computer: started with clean install of 6.2, cvsuped to stable, cvsuped ports, and then installed the tightvnc port (I didn`t install the x11/xorg meta port) and tried to start it. Then it said that it cannot find xauth, so I installed it, then it complained about the "fixed" font, so I`v just installed the meta xorg-fonts port to make life easier :) and I have the symlink, one of the ports that tightvnc depends on created it. -- PGP KeyID: 0x3118168B Keyserver: pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint BB50 2983 0714 36DC D02E 158A E03D 56DA 3118 168B
