I installed FreeBSD 6.1 expecting it to give me the maximum

everything needed for it put together, but X was properly linked

should X be linked)?
I got several "error code 1" messages while installing it.
What does this indicate (other that an error occurred)? Can the
message be made more informative? If so, please do
There seems to be a later FreeBSD 6.1 available, I will
try to get and install it.
I just realized I did not answer you question. If you are building X make sure
you use the xorg port that includes all the necessary parts. I prefer:
setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp<n>.FreeBSD.org
pkg_add -r xorg
This will work. If you want to build X from source include the tail of the build
and you can probably get specific suggestions. All my workstations are far to
slow/small to make this an option for me. Sorry - I think I missed the boat with
my first post.
