I have a Matrox Millenium w/4MB of WRAM and I had to buy $100 drivers for X-Windows. I have the instructions here and I wasn't able to install it. Here are the instructions that came with the drivers. BSDI BSD/386 1.1 Installation Instructions Required software You must have installed the Core X11 Clients. You may also have installed any or all of: X11 Server, X11 Developer, X11 Manual Pages, Misc. X11 Clients Installation. Login as root # cd /usr/X11/lib/X11 Insert Diskett 1 of 2. # gunzip < /dev/rfd0 | tar -xvf - Well there are more instructions, but I don't get past that part. It says invalid directory. I would have to check and see what the directory was. Obviously something isn't installed. My friend and I think we need to install the stuff right above the "Installation. Login as root." Would I have to install that stuff from the boot disk? Any help is appreciated. Thanks --Shaun black_mammoth@vt.edu
