<p>To obtain a minimum XFree86 installation you will require the archives
marked with a `*' above, the server binary best suited to your machine
and optionally "<code>gunzip.Z</code>".  All the files are compressed 
with "<code>gzip</code>" except
of course "<code>gunzip.Z</code>" which is compressed using the 
conventional <code>compress</code>
program.</p>

<p>To install the XFree86 binaries just follow these steps.
<ol>
<li>Obtain the files you require.<p>   
The rest of this procedure must be done as root.  If you do not run
the extraction as root the permissions on the files will not be
correct.  For example,  the `X' server is s-bit root and will not
function correctly if extracted as an ordinary user.  </p>

</li>
<li>create a directory <code>/usr/X11R6</code>, permissions <code>755</code>
should do nicely.</li>
<li>cd <code>/usr/X11R6</code></li>
<li>extract the archives, for example:
<pre>
            gunzip &lt; X312bin.tgz | tar xvpf -
</pre>
    </li>
<li>if you have installed man pages see the later section on
setting up man pages.</li>
<li>Look through <code>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/INSTALL</code>, 
especially section 2
on configuring and using XFree86.   This should allow you to get
a server up and running.  Before starting the server check in
the later section 
<A HREF="SCO3.html#sec-runxf86">Before Running XFree86</A>, 
in this document, to
see if there are any system requirements you have to make for the
server to operate correctly.</li>
</ol>
