how's it going, I'm installing on a MAC panther. I have fink untar'd and installed, when I go to... fink install ethereal I have to pick my virtual dependency and I pick the xfree86 distribution. Installing at this point stops and I get this.. 

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools 
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.

Press Return to continue.
any help in removing these files I'd greatly appreeciate. Thanks

Kevin
