I got the comps.pmac file from the R4 lite and the comps.new from pre-5 and compared them. I downloaded all of the RPMS from the the files directories. And then I started laoding them in the order they are loaded for a R4 lite install. The only exceptions were of course libraries and compilers. Anyways, looks like im all done except for reconfiguring X for XFB. (My fb0 dissappeared after I formatted for the clean R4 lite install and I forgot how I made the bugger the first time.) Also, it seems that I need to get the source RPM for XPM and compile it as there is a pre-compiled or src.rpm for it under the files tree. Very convenient seeing as how half the X rpms and apps want it to install. Anywas, a quick visit to a redhat mirror should fix that. WHAT I NEED: Anyways, if someone has already hand configured the X 3.3.3 under the pre-R5, send me an outline for getting it going. I did softlink the DEV server already so I know my Xservers file is fine. Ive got a G3 with standard ati rage. I have KDE and FVWM installed and the Xclients files I have look fine. NOTE: This was not all fun, I planned it for several days before I tried it. During the process I had to wipe out my rpm db's. My fingers grew tired from typing in --nodeps for the next few hours. MYPLANS: Im gonna try to get gnome .99 and all of its required libraries to compile whether or not I get X up and running. I have a T3 and a G3 and I'm ready to fly. (Geert-style) Cheers!
