To clarify are you wanting to:
1) Boot with darwin now & use X11 windowing without Aqua. As in do
you have Darwin installed as well? If not moot point. If so, then are
you wanting to use X11R6.8 exclusively as your GUI?
or
2) Go ahead and boot Mac OS X but use your own X11 windowing
packaging (X11R6.8 from the fink xorg pkg) on top of that. As in, did
you mean to say you don't want to use Apple's X11 instead of saying
you don't want to use OS X?
I'm asssuming you actually mean to do #2. First check out fink's FAQ:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-packages.php?phpLang=en#cant-
install-xfree
in regards to using an X windowing system other than Apple's own X11.
Next, if you get an error message trying that then send it to one of
fink's mailing lists, probably the beginner's list to start as well
as the particular pkg maintainer:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/lists/fink-beginners.php
To get the pkg maintainer's email (xorg in this case) the type the
following in you Terminal window or xterm window:
fink info xorg
Seems more logical to send the request on how to use fink installed
packages to a fink list instead of to a list for the program you
don't want to use. Unless I'm really misunderstanding what you're
wanting to do.
Hope this helps,
Brandon Potter
