I've recently learned about the patches that are available to get X11R4 under SCO Xenix 386. My optimism was quickly tempered when I realized that I'd need to buy a much larger hard drive in order to simply compile the whole darn mess as it is > 100 Meg of source. I have a few questions for those who may be aware of the specifics of the installation or who may have already used these patches. Please email and I'll summarize as I think this may be of general interest: 1- How well does X11 run once installed? Compared with Xsight if possible. ( I know this is comparing Apples and Oranges but it *is* useful). 2- Once the sources are removed after compilation, how much space is taken up by the full install? 3- I presume the kernel must be patched. Once this obstacle is overcome has anyone made the binaries available as a standalone option? 4- When compiled will I have the Xlib's available so that I may compile and install PD X applications? Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. -- -- Michael R. Johnston mjohnsto@shearson.com || mjohnstonn@mcimail.com System Administrator UUCP: uunet!slcpi!mjohnsto Lehman Brothers Inc.
