>From what I can gather and what I've researched, it appears that the CAM
distributions are the minimum self-consistent size possible. As X doesn't give
a toss about CAM or non-CAM systems, it would be a bit of a waste of space to
come up with a whole separate directory of duplicated X stuff. Although
an explicit note about that might be nice or even a symbolic link should
work I'd have thought. I'm speculating from a state of ignorance about
all of the issues however.
Anyway, to get X installed, I would expect (though have not tested) you just need to
1) use the 'options' selection in the '/stand/sysinstall' main menu to set the
'Release Name' to '2.2.7-RELEASE'.
2) select the 'configure' option in the '/stand/sysinstall' main menu to
then select the 'Distributions' options and specify a 'custom' distribution
that includes only the relevant XF86332 material.
(of course you'll have to specify a ftp site and possibly some other more minor
items).
HTH,
