Description Josef El-Rayes 2003-07-20 23:50:10 UTC 
	i just wanted to clarify that it is not necessary to use the XFree86
meta package to install XFree86, there are packages/ports for the different
parts.

				 Separate packages and ports for
different parts of <application>XFree86 4.X</application> are also
available.

The "4.X" is important since we also talked about 3.X installation but
the separate ports do not exist for this version.

I committed a slightly different version of your patch: 
- I tried to limit line length to 72 chars 
- 2 spaces should be added between a period and the beginning of a new 
sentence. 
- s/4.x/4.X 
- I used a comma instead of the dash. 
Thnaks for the submission!
