Path: sserve!newshost.anu.edu.au!munnari.oz.au!news.Hawaii.Edu!ames!olivea!grapevine.lcs.mit.edu!kaleb From: kaleb@expo.lcs.mit.edu (Kaleb Keithley) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.misc Subject: XFree86-2.0 Date: 3 Nov 93 23:58:38 GMT Organization: X Consortium Lines: 22 Distribution: world Message-ID: <kaleb.752371118@kanga.x.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: kanga.x.org In the "compliments will get you everywhere" department, my mosquito sized brain thinks that if I already have XFree86-1.3 binaries, fonts, libraries, etc., then the thing I'm mostly interested in is the new server binary. I'm loathe to tie up my phone line for many hours downloading a ton of unnecessary shit at 9600 baud again too. But, short of wading through the 1.3-2.0 diffs or getting my witch doctor to throw some bones (I'm saving his services for far more important things, like putting curses on people. :-)), there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to determine what I need. Sadly enough, it doesn't seem to be covered in the READMEs either. I can't think of any reason why the 1.3 binaries, etc. wouldn't work, but then I'm not the one who's hacking up the X sources in XFree86 either. Anyone on the XFree86 development team care to venture an opinion about what pieces are really necessary. -- Kaleb Keithley
