Hey people,

I like to uninstall Apple's X11 completely and replace it with Xfree86. Anyone know how i uninstall?

I have Xfree86 and KDE 3.3 already, just encountered some problems removing Apple's X11. Please Help. And before anyone tells me about fink, i know already but I like to try with xFree86, been told:

"Head on over to http://fink.sourceforge.net and download it. - Fink is basically a package manager for OS X and it allows you to easily install UNIX software like KDE, taking care of all the dependencies for you.

Once you have fink installed, the easiest and quickest way to get KDE up and running is to type in the following commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kde"


Any help appreciated. It's driving me up the wall...

what's this line for?

Why?

It doesn't seem to me like you know what you're doing, so you might want to think twice.

Hey bro. There nothing on this system. You can either help or I'll reinstall the OS minus X11 and do it the long way. Just thought people here might like to help me uninstall this thing, since apple haven't included a uninstall option. I initially installed thinking i could install KDE on it, but i can't seem to find information on doing this.

God.. some people....
