Create the directory /usr/X11R6 cd to /usr/X11R6 sh /tmp/preinst.sh zcat X32xxx.tgz | tar xvf - You will have already copied preinst.sh and postinst.sh to your /tmp directory because you read the RELNOTES file that comes with the distribution :) Only half joking here, you will have a tough time getting X running if you do not read the docs.
