I wouldn't do it, too much changed betwwen 4.3 and 4.3, not the least of which is the inclusion of fontconfig in 4.3. If you really want to upgrade to 4.3, the way to go about it is to get the 4.3 src.spm from cooker and rebuild it on your 9.0 box, thus compiling it against the libraries that do exist on your system. Of course, the sane way to get XFree 4.3 is to install 9.1 instead. -- Greg
