Recompiled X from sources: Wanna install but What to uninstall?

frankie_DJ · 09-15-2006, 12:47 AM

Hi everyone,

I am running Slack10.2 which has X11-6.8.2. I downloaded and compiled X11-6.9 and I want to install it but I am not sure what old packages to uninstall:

a) Only x11-base package?
b) a) + x11 fonts?
c) a) + b) + x11 libraries?
d) Everything that pkgtool shows me that starts with x11?
e) Everything that pkgtool shows me that starts with x?

Thanks for your help.

Uninstall all x11 packages before you install a different version. the x11 packages are pieces of a full x11 build.
