I dont' think it's in the Errata yet because nobody has taken the time to verify exactly where the bug is, and it's a cosmetic bug and doesen't affect the operating of X normally. If you having problems installing X from the ISO on a non-PC98 system then something else is wrong. Notice, though, that the PC98 files in the Xserver section aren't listed as installable options either. There's a bug here - most likely the PC98 files are listed as a dependency somewhere that they don't need to be.

The 4.2 Release CD that is sold in stores, is it made from the same image as the 4.2 ISO on the ftp site. The reason I ask this is because they seem not to be. My reason for saying this is the when I use the Retail CD, it's installs all but the PC 98 files, the ISO Image on the ftp site however is missing some xwindows fonts and other components on install so X-windows will not work correctly. Please Verify this as it would help a lot of people who download the ISO. Amir Seyavash Mesry American Megatrends Inc.
