I have a question about installing XFree: 1) I downloaded the essential files I needed from the Internet from a Windows program. Because of the DOS eight.3 filename limitation it cutoff everything but the first letter of the file. i.e. (XFree86-3.1-x instead of XFree86-3.1-xinit-config.tar.gz) If I were to install from dos the extraction program would not know which file is which. One option would be to copy the dos directory over to a FreeBSD directory. If this is a option were would I copy it and how would I install it. Is the installation file called extract.sh The instructions in the Xfree86 readme seem pretty straitght foward should I follow this or use the extract.sh program. Any help would be greatly aprreciated. Thanks, Carl Gola cgola@ix.netcom.com
