The versioin of Xfree86 that come on the cd-rom I bought from Walnut
Creek is 3.1.2 (not sure which release) doesn't support #9 Imagine
Series ii, however, the latest version 3.1.2g beta do.  My question is
this

1) do i have to d/l all of the bin file in 3.1.2.g directory or do
just need a few

2) let say i download it the file, where do i put it before i
extracted it??

3) which is the best or most useful win manager for X-windows

4) how do you config what start-up when you first start X (i.e., in my
it start 2 x-term and X-login)

5) what are some of X-utilities I should install for X-windows

Thank you for the help
