According to the documentation, what I have to do is simply unarchive the file in /usr/X386 and it should then replace my current Xfree86 2.0 . The process seems sucessful when unarchive all the file and I can start X without any problem, but once I use xman to see the new manu, I found that many keyword are marked with '(z)' , eg xman (z) and I just cannot even I selected one item to view, it display nothing! Even those old command cannot be viewed ( except those haven't marked with '(z)'. Another problem is I wanna like my X server with PEX but I just don't know how to do it ( I think the enclosed documentation is not sufficiently clear). If U have successfully installed the new version of Xfree2.1, would U please tell me what should I do ?! ERIC
