This disk contains the X11R6 patch level 3 distribution, as well as
binaries for Solaris 2.3 and SunOS 4.1.3 machines.
The X11R6 distribution is also available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.x.edu. See the file X11R6/README for more information.

ls-lR ls -lR of this disk
install.sh install script for this disc, supports either
Solaris of BSD installs, as well as installing
either as links or real binaries.
===========================================================================
To install the X11R6 distribution you can either use the provided
installation script, or do it yourself.
To use the script do the following:
% install.sh [-c]|[-l] [-s]|[-b] <cdrom_path> <install_path>
-c: copy files
-l: make symbolic links instead of copying
-s: install for a Solaris host
-b: install for a SunOS 4.1.3 host
cdrom_path: cdrom mount point (default is "/cdrom")
install_path: installation destination
(default is "/usr/X11R6")
The full binary distribution takes roughly 60 megs of disk space, while the
link only installation takes about a meg of space, just for the links and
directory entries.
If you would like to just run off the cdrom with no new links or code, do
the following:
% ln -s /cdrom/ARCH /usr/X11R6
(Where "ARCH" is either "solaris" or "sun413" depending upon
the operating system.)
This will create a link in /usr that points to the correct directory
in the CDROM. 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.
Please check individual files for copyrights and distribution restrictions.
