Subject: Installing XFree86 from floppy
Lines: 18


Is it possible to install XFree86 from floppy?  Some of the files in
the XF86311 directory are larger than 1.44M, but a split-format
distribution (i.e. *.aa, *.ab, etc.) is unavailable.  The same happens
for the package, commerce, xperimnt directories.

The installation procedure offers to install all of the above even when
one chooses floppy based install.  It should be able to take care
of the above distributions.
