I had some time over so I decided to try out the new Xinstall.sh, some
small comments..
Maybe a small note in the userguide that the modules Xinstall asks it
they should be installed are optional (or??)
Working up the xterm terminfo fails..

| On some systems you may get warnings from tic about 'meml'
| and 'memu'. These warnings can safely be ignored.

| tic: Can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xterm.terminfo
|
| If you are going to use rstart and /usr/X11R6/bin isn't in the
| default path for commands run remotely via rsh, you will need
| a link to rstartd installed in /usr/bin.

Maybe it is a small idea to provide minimal startup-scripts that works
with the recently installed stuff?? (i.e. comment out mxterm,
ssh-agent and use twm instead of vtwm)
Add a pause at the end so people can see if they have any
log-messages??
Add a line at the beginning of the scipts "echo this file needs to be
edited; exit".. :-)
Maybe make a small note in the install guides to throw an eye *plunk*
at the readme file in the xtracted startup-scripts?
Meanwhile.. plunking an eye at the startupscript vi'ing a bit.. and
./startxwin.sh (adding /usr/x11R6/bin into my path) wroom wonderful
slimy.. green.. :-)
