Hi!

First off, thanks to all for the X386 port to 386BSD!!!!

I pulled X386 binaries off of agate for 386BSD.  I noticed that the
X server is *11 MEG* in size -- is this for real?  How much swap is 
recommended?  I know that shared libs aren't implemented yet but I am
still supprized by the size. Obviously I'm missing something.

Any clues as to why this beast is so big?

Cheers,
Doug
