X11 / XFree86 Installation

[Teo De Las Heras]

O.K. I'm now in the process of installing Xorg from the ports that are
included in FreeBSD 5.3.  About half way through I am getting a
message that libXft-2.1.6.tar.gz is not available.  I have tried to
download it to the distfiles directory from various FTP site the when
I run make I get checksum errors.
