[TriLUG] XFree86 installation issues

[Roy Vestal]

Andrew,
It's asking for the gnu c libraries version 2.2 (glibc2.2) Your best bet
would be to use 3.3.6 on DragonLinux.

 What version of DragonLinux? I'm assuming you installed the version for
loop filesystems (where you could install it in your existing Windows
partition). I had some problems getting it working correctly.  I'd recommend
dropping back to XFree86 v3.3.6

If you are looking for a linux or linux emu that you can run from within
windows, check out www.cygwin.com as well. I use it on my Windoze boxes at
work along with bochs.sourceforge.net which is a virtual machine software
similar to VMware.

last UNIX experience was in grad school about 8 years ago. I have installed
DragonLinux (based on Slackware) on my IBM Thinkpad. The kernel installation
was smooth. I had some difficulty getting XFree86 v.3.3.x up and running, so
I updated to v.4.2.0.  Upon my attempt to run "XFree86 -config", I received
the following discouraging message:
