I'm running FreeBSD 1.1-RELEASE. I have a Mouse Systems mouse (I can change
it via switch to be a MS-compatible if I really have to), a trident
1MB VGA card. About 250MB or so of free drive space to play with.
  I want to play with X a little bit, but I don't want to get over-burdened
with extras I don't want. Could anyone tell me what the "minimum" 
Xfree set I should get is? I've looked at the ftp sites, and there seems
to be between 10 and 25 meg of files that look like they might be needed
to be wedged in somewhere.
  Any comments welcome.
