For trouble shooting reason's too lengthy to detail I got to twice re-install
10.4.0 and then step through all the Tiger updates on my G4 eMac. In the
process I forgot to install x11 and yes, if you boot to the Tiger 10.4.0
DVD, the installer tries to make you do a full Archive and 10.4.0 Install
just to add x11. Having updated my way back to 4.8 twice (since 4.9
seems to break my DV video capture), I wanted to find a better option.
Not knowing at the time that the the x11 package can be found as
"System/Installation/Packages/X11User.pkg" by using LIST VIEW on
the 10.4.0 install DVD, I googled up this helpful page:
< http://xanana.ucsc.edu/xtal/x11.html >
The download links for the x11User packages worked fine and I got
X11 back up on my eMac in short order.
HTH!
