'apt-get install xserver-xfree86 ' will install 'xserver-xorg'
instead of xserver-xfree86, whats the matter ?

i want to install xfree86, not xorg....

I have to say that I was mystified by the fuss over the change inXFree86. I tried to read over the opinions. It seems that XFree86 wantedto require inclusion of files that actually gave credit for who wrotethe software. This is very similar to the referencing one does inwriting scientific papers. Is anyone packaging their own, unofficialXFree86 deb's?
