	System install CD.

>Description:

	After configuring XFree86 with system install process, using
	xf86cfg, this warning appears:

			User Confirmation Requested
		The XFree86 configuration process seems to have
		failed.  Would you like to try again?
			[Yes]		No

	This always happens, so it looks like the error check is
	broken.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install a system from the CD.  Configure X server with install
	process.

>Fix:
	
	Test these things before release.

   Further investigation of the source reveals that the test is for the existance of
 /etc/X11/CF86Config  --- previous versions tested for /etc/XF86Config .
 
   Unfortunately, now some of the configuation programs place the file in
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config -- where it doesn't get noticed.  Other times
 the user may place it in /etc/XF86Config (which is still legal).  In any of
 these cases, the error message occurs, and is incorrect.
 
   It looks like when this happens, configuring the desktop may also get lost.

The new consensus seems to be that removing the X configuration from 
sysinstall will simplify life for everyone.  This will render this 
PR obsolete.
