RE: Compilation of the source, and aquisition of binaries


In case libX11.dll is not building then almost every thing will fail
afterward.

Yes, I am on T1 at work and Cable Modem at home, for me it, at home, does
not take more then 20 minutes to download entire CVS of XF86 from CVS.

I'll have to do that in the morning.  I gave up after watching it go for 4
hrs at a time before seeing if it had worked.

I'll have a squizz for any "errors" through out the log, before I post it to
you directly, incase I am myself missing something - hope you have a fast
connection! ;-)
