Hi list,

I'm a new X11 user, (G4, "wind tunnel", OS X 10.3.5), and most things seem to be working. I've successfully installed Gimp and OpenOffice.org, and have been installing a few programs with Fink Commander. I just tried installing the binary of applesystemfonts and after downloading etc. I get:

"You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools instead to make this known to Fink's package system."

What is this saying? How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

David Johnson
