XFree86 is a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the X Window System. XFree86 provides a client/server interface between display hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized application interface (API). Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download size: &xfree86-size; Estimated Disk space required: &xfree86-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xfree86-time; The following packages are included in the XFree86 package, however they are updated more often than the XFree86 package and are highly recommended: , and If you choose not to install these separate packages, the host.def file below will have to be modified to instruct XFree86 to build them. There are several files that need to be fetched from the download location: XFree86-4.4.0-src-1.tgz XFree86-4.4.0-src-2.tgz XFree86-4.4.0-src-3.tgz XFree86-4.4.0-src-4.tgz XFree86-4.4.0-src-5.tgz XFree86-4.4.0-src-6.tgz XFree86-4.4.0-src-7.tgz The first three packages are the XFree86 programs, the fourth and fifth are fonts, the sixth is normal documentation, and the seventh is hardcopy documentation. There are also two packages doctools-1.3.1.tgz, which contain programs to regenerate hardcopy documentation, and utils-1.1.0.tgz, which contain GNU TAR and zlib which are already installed on an LFS system. To check your downloads for integrity, download the SUMS.md5sum file. Then: md5sum -c SUMS.md5sum The only errors you should see are for README, doctools-1.3.1.tgz, and utils-1.1.0.tgz files if you did not download them.
