The nature of glass phases of liquid crystals in random porous media depends
on the effective disorder strength. We study how the disorder strength depends
on the density of the porous media and demonstrate that it can increase as the
density decreases. We also show that the interaction of the liquid crystal with
random porous media can destroy long--range order inside the pores.
