Installing X

[drew at drewtaylor.com (Drew Taylor)]

Well, I did DL & try the RPMs first. :-) But they had several dependencies 
I could not resolve: libXaw3d, and kernel-drm(?) I noticed that the 2.4.9 
kernel RPM solved the kernel-??? dependency, but I could not figure out the 
libXaw3d thing. I don't need anything fancy now as the server has a 1MB 
Mach64 video card in it (can you say 800x600x16 bit?).
