- Domino and Retina have different VGA chips and different
- ways to adress the cards.

- I don't thing that releasing sources is a good idea. Just release
- the amiga.cf, imake.tmpl and such, so that everybody interested into
- X11R5 can easily make up his own tree.
-
- Just release the sources for the R5 server :-)

- 250MB is the upper limit. You probably dont want to compile the fonts,
- the extensions and maybe not even the phigs stuff. I'd say 100MB is
- a reasonable space.
-
- FYI: Linux CD and Walnut X11 are are fine way to get the X11 sources,
- if you have a CD at home you can even mount the drive and make links
- to the sources.
-
- Fot the terminal: I could need a support for a second serial device
- or multi-I/O card :-/ I want to be able to use my modem and my terminal
- at the same time...

- Definitely :-) I hate seeing my xterm consumes 500KB for nothing.
