Installing XFree 4.2
Hello.. I'm currently running the version of XFree 4.1 that was
installed with woody but I was planning to install XFree 4.2, but I have
some questions before I do:
First of all, what is the best way to install it? I have read about some
debs that have problems and I have already downloaded the source files,
but I would like to know first before doing anything.
Second, the help file tells me to disable xdm before installing. In my
case I use kdm, so I think I have to disable that one instead. How can
I do that? How can I re-enable it later?
Am I going to be able to configure the new version of XFree using
Debconf (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86) or am I going to have to
reconfigure it manually?
Is apt-get or dselect going to have problems with my new install? I ask
this because if I install from source I think apt-get may get messed up
and it might try to remove my install.
Any other tips or advices you can give me?
Thanks a lot for your help on this and sorry for asking so much. It's
the first time I have a Debian system running well and I don't want it
to stop working well because of a mistake.
