X11 package is on Disk 3 of Panther. You can install it without really
affecting the Panther installation which is nominally on Disks 1 and
2. If you want to get involved with downloading and compiling linux
code from the web , you probably want to also install the tools found
on the 4th disk. These disks have packages that you may keep your eyes
open in the install dialogs for a customize button. You probably want
to install every thing instead of just the default.

I just got the G5 and want to install x11.
I can't find it on the Panther disc. Instructions on installation
said it is on the distribution cd and I need to do a "custom
install".
Ok, should I go ahead and "install os x" (scary!).
Would I be better off just downloading the package?
If anyone could post step by step instructions, I would be very
grateful.
I am a former Windows user (and very disgruntled about MS).
Question for you here: I've been following this list for a while. I
started using OS X about a year ago w/ the intention of running all the
X goodies I was used to in Linux. The Mac desktop sucked me in, and I
pretty much slacked off on that. Somewhere along the line I d/l'd Fink
and FinkCommander, and a few odds-n-ends, like vim, nedit, X11 preview,
etc.
Would I be better off to clean out this stuff (or at least X11 preview
and the older X programs) and start over w/ a 'sanctioned' X11 install
from the Panther discs?
Thanks,
Monte
