Uncompressed at 2.3Mbyte. I believe it is useful for people who just want to experiment with installing X386. I call it small_X11r5.tz . I hope I've not broken any rules. README.smallx: This collection of X utilities and directories enable a user to have a minimal X-window terminal. The only software provided is the xterm but it will allow you to test the capabilities of the X11. To get more help with xterm, type xterm -? after putting up the X window. You can change the xterm settings online by pressing CTRL and mouse button simultaneously. To create another window at a different location, use the geometry option. See .xinitrc for examples. To install, just type install. Make sure you are a super user. The Xconfig should allow you to start with the lowest resolution. To get higher resolution, type CTRL, ALT,and +. You may have to change the mouse settings. The default in the Xconfig is PC or mousesystems type mouse i.e. 3-button, which is the preferable mouse.
