<para><application>&xfree86;</application> is an important component for many desktop users.
Prior to &os; 4.6-RELEASE, releases used &xfree86;

The easiest way to build these versions is to use the
<filename>src/release/scripts/X11/build_x.sh</filename> script.
This script requires that &xfree86; and Tcl/Tk already be
installed on the build host. After compiling the necessary X
servers, the script will package all of the files into tarballs
that &man.sysinstall.8; expects to find in the
<filename>XF86336</filename> directory of the installation
media.</para>

built from an appropriately tagged ports tree.</para>
