Description Ruven Gottlieb 2001-09-07 16:20:02 UTC 
I can't install xscreensaver via sysinstall.  It's not on the generated list, but it is on the list at the FreeBSD site.  It is in ports so I had to make it that way.

How-To-Repeat: Try to install xscreensaver with sysinstall.

It looks like the xscreensaver package is included in 4.4-RELEASE. It
was not in 4.3-RELEASE. I do not know why it was not.

I really don't see any problem to be fixed here. We can't go back and
change 4.3-RELEASE now. What would you like us to do?

I don't know why xscreensaver was not included in 4.3-RELEASE, but 
it's a little late to be changing it now. There is an xscreensaver 
package in 4.4-RELEASE.
