<para><application>XFree86</application> is a freely redistributable open-source

implementation of the

hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment
|
|
while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized

<para>You should also download the patch file:
|
|
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/fixes/4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz" /></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first three packages are the <application>XFree86</application> programs,
|
|
the fourth and fifth are fonts,
|
|
the sixth is normal documentation, and the seventh is hardcopy documentation.
|
|
There are also two packages <filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, which
|
|
contain programs to regenerate hardcopy documentation, and
|
|
<filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename>, which contain <filename>gnutar</filename>
|
|
and <filename>zlib</filename> which are already installed on an LFS system.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To check your downloads for integrity, download the <filename>SUMS.md5sum</filename>
|
|
file. Then:
|
|
<screen>md5sum X430src* > md5sums &&
|
|
diff md5sums SUMS.md5sum</screen>
|
|
The only differences you should see are for <filename>README</filename>,
|
|
<filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, and
|
|
<filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename> files if you did
|
|
not download them.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The fixes subdirectory also has a SUMS.md5sum and this can be checked against
|
|
the patch file:
|
|
<screen><filename>md5sum 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz</filename></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After unpacking the <filename>X430src-?.tgz</filename> files, change to the
|
|
<filename>xc</filename> directory and run:
|
|
<screen>gunzip 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz &&
|
|
patch -Np1 -i 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff</screen></para>
