   Okay, evidently no one's willing to do favors... Guess I'll just have to

I think it's more a matter of everyone being in much the same boat!
I could make such a distribution and would otherwise be happy to
do so, but then *I'd* have to download the frippin' thing down *my*
slow modem line to get it to you! :)

   So, where's the source? My archie query only turned up binaries. ftp.cdrom
   and agate.berkeley only seem to have binaries.

Erm..  Good question!  I guess you can just get the standard R5 + XFree86
stuff from ftp.x.org!
