No, no, that's what the list is for!

BTW, since you're running the ALPHA snapshot: feedback on the
installation procedure, the current NOTES, and on sysinst would be
very welcome.  It's quite usable as-is, but I'd like to make it even
better.

This needs to go into a README with the X servers and into the
NOTES and release notes.  It's not your problem, it's ours.

I think the the -fp option isn't quite correct.  You need to use
something like

	X -fp trillian/tcp:7100

or, as I would recommend,

	X -fp localhost/tcp:7100

(so that the file works on other machines).  This is documented in the
xfs man page. 

I'm also committing changes to /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf to allow
starting both xfs and xdm via rc.conf.  That should help too.
