after a lot of cpu spinning im to a point where a few net inquiries are in
order.
1. has anyone built microsoft bus mouse support for this beastie? the tty01 port   doesnt seem to be there. ive perused TFM in the places it should be to no
   avail. tried doing a link from /dev/mouse to /dev/tty01, works (moves to X
   cursor but without control). ill play with the baud rates maybe.

2. xinit whines about "failed to set default font path" and  "could not open
   default font 'fixed". the first could be a result of following the advice to    delete the 100dpi stuff (saved 17M).

3. if started by the script

	X -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc -fn 8x13 &
	sleep 5
	twm &
	xterm &
	
   the message recieved is "unable to connect to display "" "

notes:

dont attempt to apply the vga patch to X11R4 pl10 or higher. it fails miserably.

if the gnu stuff is installed in anything but /usr/local... the following
 stuff needs repairing
   ./config/ix386.cf		/* fix the definition for CPP */
   ./util/scripts/makeshlib	/* provide correct location for gcc-gnulib */
   
in the file util/scripts/bsdinst.sh, change 'install' to /etc/install on line 88

if you are going to attempt a recompile, avoid 'make clean', use 
 find  . -name '*.[ao]' -print | xargs rm
instead. make clean plays havoc with the makefile in extensions/lib or extensions. make from the root X directory will fail.

thanks in advance.
