Yes, other's have noticed this as well, however it only
affects X on PC98 systems, X does work properly otherwise.
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.

I Have something to tell and a question. 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.
