This chapter lists information that is supplemental to the
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e and the
installation instructions in the _P_e_r_s_o_n_a_l _S_y_s_t_e_m
_A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is

install this product.
2.1 _X__W_i_n_d_o_w__S_y_s_t_e_m__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
The X software includes these subsystems:
_x__e_o_e._s_w._S_e_r_v_e_r This is the X window server. You
must install this if you want to
use any graphics on your system.
The font server is also contained
in this subsystem.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._e_o_e This must be installed to run any X
clients. This is a set of
necessary tools for managing your
X11 window server.
_x__e_o_e._s_w_6_4._e_o_e This must be installed to run any
64-bit X clients.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._X_f_o_n_t_s These are the font files used by
most X applications. Most
applications do not work without
them.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._X_o_p_t_f_o_n_t_s A set of optional bitmap X fonts.
Most applications can work without
these fonts. If you get a message
about Lucida fonts missing, you
should install this subsystem.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._X_o_p_t_t_y_p_e_1 Additional 30 Type 1 fonts.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._X_u_n_i_c_o_d_e_f_o_n_t_s Large Unicode fonts in the CID-
keyed format.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._X_a_p_p_s These are useful applications
programs written using the X Window
System.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._X_g_i_f_t_s These applications programs are
written using the X Window System.
They are not supported by Silicon
Graphics, but are provided on an
- 2 -
``as is'' basis.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._p_e_x The dynamically loaded PEX X Window
System extension and PEX fonts.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._x_d_p_s The dynamically loaded Display
PostScript X server extension.
_x__e_o_e._s_w._p_l_u_g_i_n A Netscape compatible plugin for
embedding X applications in web
pages.
_x__e_o_e._s_r_c._r_x__e_x_a_m_p_l_e_s Web page examples for embedding X
and OpenGL applications.
_x__e_o_e._m_a_n._e_o_e Manual pages for the applications
provided in the _e_o_e subsystem.
_x__e_o_e._m_a_n._X_a_p_p_s Manual pages for the applications
provided in the _X_a_p_p_s subsystem.
_x__e_o_e._m_a_n._X_g_i_f_t_s Manual pages for the applications
provided in the _X_g_i_f_t_s subsystem.
_x__e_o_e._m_a_n._S_e_r_v_e_r Manual pages for the X11R6 window
server.
_x__e_o_e._m_a_n._p_l_u_g_i_n Man page for the Netscape RX
plugin.
_x__e_o_e._m_a_n._r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s These release notes.
2.2 _X__W_i_n_d_o_w__S_y_s_t_e_m__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__S_p_a_c_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of the X
Window System software.
You can use the software installation instructions in the
_P_e_r_s_o_n_a_l _S_y_s_t_e_m _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e to install this
product. If you are installing this software for the first
time, the default subsystems are installed if you click the
_I_n_s_t_a_l_l _A_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c_a_l_l_y button. To install a different set of
subsystems, click the _C_u_s_t_o_m_i_z_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n button and make
your new selections. Then click the _S_t_a_r_t button to launch
the installation.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e for
information on finding exact sizes.
