## 2. Installing the Binaries

The binary distribution is composed of a number of tar archives which are the executables, servers, fonts, libraries, include files, man pages, config files, and the server link kit. The full distribution takes over 95MB of disk space.

At minimum you need to unpack the 'required' `X33*.tgz` archives plus at least one server that matches your vga card. If you will be using the new `XF86Setup` utility you will also need the VGA16 server. You'll need about 40Mb for the minimum required run-time binaries only.

REQUIRED:

  X33bin

    Clients, run-time libs, and app-defaults files

  X33doc

    Documentation

  X33fnts

    75dpi and misc fonts

  X33lib

    Data files required at run-time

  X33cfg

    sample config files for xinit, xdm

  X33set

    XF86Setup utility

  X33VG16

    16 colour VGA server (XF86Setup needs this server)

  Choose at least one of the following server to match your hardware:

  X338514

    8514/A server

  X33AGX

    AGX server

  X33I128

    I128 server

  X33Ma64

    Mach 64 server

  X33Ma32

    Mach 32 server

  X33Ma8

    Mach 8 server

  X33Mono

    Monochrome server

  X33P9K

    P9000 server

  X33S3

    S3 server

  X33S3V

    S3 ViRGE server

  X33SVGA

    SVGA server

  X33VG16

    16 colour VGA server

  X33W32

    ET4000W32, ET6000 server

OPTIONAL:

  X33f100

    100dpi fonts

  X33fcyr

    Cyrillic fonts

  X33fnon

    Other fonts (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew)

  X33fscl

    Scalable fonts (Speedo and Type1)

  X33fsrv

    Font server and config files

  X33prog

    X header files, config files and compile-time libs

  X33man

    Manual pages

  X33nest

    Nested X server

  X33prt

    X Print server

  X33vfb

    Virtual frame buffer X server

  X33lkit

    The server LinkKit

  X33ps

    PostScript version of the documentation

  X33html

    HTML version of the documentation

If this is your first time, then you can safely install all of the packages. As a minimal install, you'll need doc, bin, fonts lib, config, and one X server.

If you plan to install XF86Setup you'll have to install `X33prog` as well since XF86Setup checks for the existence of a certain file name pattern which is satisfied only if you install the library files from `X33prog`. This restriction will be fixed in future XFree86 releases for LynxOS.

It may be necessary to increase the process stack limit in order to run XFree86 on your system. Edit `/etc/startab` and reboot your system to make the changes active before you begin the installation.

Also, be sure to include `/usr/X11R6/bin` in your PATH environment variable.
