do you mean the following log? Welcome to the XFree86(R) 4.5.0 installer You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation before proceeding. This includes the /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11 and /etc/fonts directories. The installation process will overwrite existing files in those directories, and this may include some configuration files that have been customised either by you or by your OS distribution. Although an attempt is made to make backup copies of these files and directories before overwriting them, this is not a failsafe procedure. The backup copies will have a suffix ".1670". The installation is logged. Refer to the log file "XFree86-install.log.1670" in the current directory if you have problems during or after the installation. When making your own backup of the installation directories before proceeding with this installation, do it by making a copy of those directories and their contents. Do not simply rename them. Otherwise you may find that many of your existing applications will no longer be visible. If you are installing a version different from 4.5.0, you may need an updated version of this installer script. Do you wish to continue?

(y/n) [y] On some platforms (e.g., Linux), the OpenGL standard requires that the GL shared library and header files be visible from the standard system lib and include directories (/usr/lib and /usr/include). This can be done by installing links in those directories to the files that have been installed under /usr/X11R6. NOTE: installing these links will overwrite existing files or links.
