- Upgrade to xfree 1.1
- Get xbin2.1.TZa xbin2.1.TZb and xprog2.1.TZ
-
- from /pub/linux/packages/X11/xfree86-1.1 on tsx-11.mit.edu
-
- then, from root, and as root:
-
- zcat xbin2.1.TZa xbin2.1.TZb | tar -xvf -
- zcat xprog.2.1.TZ | tar -xvf -
-
- I think you might have to add world read/execute permissions
- to the new files in /lib
- This is from memory, but I think this will get you going.
-
- Good Luck!
