Subject: Installing XFree86-3.1

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,
