I tried to install it as a package, as it was in the package menu.
Originally I chose a non-X distribution, planning to take X from an FTP
server on the local LAN.  However, never having seen there being an XFree
package before, I couldn't resist trying it, however slow.

Has there ever been a package version before?  I can't remember seeing one.
 Anyway, it doesn't work now either :)
