## 2. Installing the Binaries

If you want to save space, first select which archives you want to unpack. If you can't decide what to pick and you have 52Mb of disk space, it's safe to unpack everything.

At a minimum you need to unpack the 'required' `X33*.tgz` archives plus at least one server that matches your vga card. You'll need 13Mb for the minimum required run-time binaries only.

  X33fnts.tgz
