8 Installing the packages

Contents of this section

XFree86/OS2 assumes a directory hierarchy starting from drive:\XFree86. This can be changed, but is strictly discouraged.

  1. Choose a HPFS partition with sufficient free space.
  2. For each package to install, go to the root directory of this drive, and type:
    drive:> cd \
    drive:> unzip \path_of_packages\X33xxxx.zip
    
  3. You might encounter that some packages report duplicate files, e.g. the X server packages install corresponding README files, which are also in the X33doc package. This is okay, the files are the same. Let unzip replace the files.
  4. There is no special sequence of installing packages required.
