To install one of my X11 binary distributions follow these instructions.
The name of the actual distribution file you grab should be substituted
for "X11R5.tar.gz" below...

1. gzcat X11R5.tar.gz | (cd /usr ; tar xvpf -)
   This puts it in /usr/X11R5 (or /usr/X11R6 for the R6 distribution).
   If you create a symlink in advance you can point it to some other
   location where you have around 25Mb of free space.  You must be root
   to install X11, because it contains setuid root executables (such
   as xterm).

2. Create the following symlinks (substitute R6 for R5 if you have X11R6):
   /usr/bin/X11		pointing at /usr/X11R5/bin
   /usr/include/X11	pointing at /usr/X11R5/include/X11
   /usr/lib/X11		pointing at /usr/X11R5/lib/X11

3. ldconfig /usr/X11R5/lib (or /usr/X11R6/lib)

4. If desired, add to the bottom of /etc/rc (don't stick it in rc.local
   or everything in /etc/rc that executes after rc.local will get dumped
   on your screen before xconsole starts):

   +-------------------------------------------------------------------
   |if [ -f /usr/bin/X11/xdm ]; then
   |        /usr/bin/X11/xdm; echo -n " xdm"
   |fi
   +-------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Man pages are in /usr/X11R5/man/man1 so either edit your manpath
   or move them to /usr/local/man/man1.  Alternatively, you can create
   /usr/X11R5 and put a symlink for /usr/X11R5/man pointing at your
   /usr/local/man hierarchy and they will be dumped in there when you
   install the package.

These packages are made available at my whim and may disappear at any
time.  Paul Southworth and CICNet, Inc. disclaim all liability for
damages arising from the use or misuse of these packages.
