Install the patchkit FIRST then install XFree. After installation DO NOT at all costs DO NOT install the included patchkit found at /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/"patchkit". These are duplicates of patches in the kit and if installed twice will seriously HOSE your system. I mistakenly did and ran into infinate panic reboot loop. So, install the patchkit (0.2) and install XFree86. MINIMUM disk drive is a 200Meg. I'm running a Maxtor 7213 (203 Meg) and I have MAYBE 20 meg free after bin01, etc01, src01 and Xfree86 installation. But I love it! Mark
