===========================================================================
Welcome to disc 1 of the Walnut Creek CDROM X11R6 package.
===========================================================================
This disk contains the X11R6 patch level 12 distribution, as well as
binaries for HP-UX 9.05, IRIX 5.2, OSF/1 3.0 on DEC Alpha AXP,
Solaris 2.3 and SunOS 4.1.4.
For Intel architecture platforms, the complete XFree86 3.1.2 distribution
is provided, containing binaries for FreeBSD (1.1.5 and 2.0.5), Linux,
BSD/OS (BSDI), SCO and SVR4 (Intel). XFree86 3.1.1 binaries are also
provided are provided for FreeBSD 2.0.
These distribution are also available via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org
and xfree86.cdrom.com.
===========================================================================
To install the software on your computer, please use the install.sh shell
script located in the root directory of both discs. The usage for this
program is:
install.sh [-c] [-a <arch>] [-p <cdrom_path>] [-i <install_path>]
-c set flag to copy files instead of using symbolic links
-a <arch> selects architecture desired (default is to try and guess)
-p <cdrom_path> sets cdrom mount point (default is /cdrom)
-i <install_path> sets installation directory (default is /usr/X11R6)
If you would like to run off the CD-ROM with no new links or code, do
the following and you are not running an XFree86 platform:
% ln -s /cdrom/ARCH /usr/X11R6
% cp /usr/X11R6/bin/rstartd /usr/bin
(Where "ARCH" depends on the operating system.)
Also note that for some platforms, the rstartd binary may be in
the misc or misc/bin subdirectories.
This will create a link in /usr that points to the correct directory
in the CD-ROM. Once you have done this, if you add /usr/X11R6/bin to
your path, you will be able to run the X software directly off the
disk.
The "rstartd" program must be in a directory that the shell will find
by default, since some shells do not allow setting the path when run
from rsh.

This disc conforms to the level 1 ISO-9660 format with Rock Ridge
extensions. If your operating system supports Rock Ridge, you can
access the files using the full Unix pathnames. If your system does
not support Rock Ridge, the filenames are limited to eight single-case
characters, with an extension of up to three characters. Each
directory on this disc has a file named 00_TRANS.TBL, that maps the
ISO-9660 compliant filenames to the original, Unix-style, filenames.
