If you have the CD, just install from the XFree86 directory on the CD. If you don't, go to ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/current and follow the download and installation instructions there. > If you have installed XWindow, add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path to run it. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
