I am unable to run any of the commands to install XFree. I have managed to unpack the files and copied them to a new partition set up for the purpose i.e. d:\usr\X11R6 ...etc., but that's where I'm stuck. Have I approached this completely the wrong way? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance, JM.
