I put together a temporary linux hard drive (using plip to transfer files) 
and was hoping to manage with just xvesa.tgz and bl2-x.tgz but apparently 
that is not enough to get xinit or startx.  What other file(s) do I need?  
Probably not xvg16.tgz or xfnts.tgz, but do I need all the others on the 
list for X?  xbin xcfg xlib xpm and most likely startx?

The idea is to attempt to install Realplayer 8 on various motherboards and 
cpus by moving the hard drive between computers until I find one or more 
than will not give me a segmentation fault, and then set up the full linux 
there (on another hard drive).  Should this work?

I ran out of space on the original linux computer attempting to compile 
lynx, while in the middle of compiling ncurses.  I see now why people want 
large hard drives.  35M of files were created by ncurses, 31M by openssl 
(not counting the installed files or the downloaded file).  I uninstalled 
and deleted Ted and Imagemagick since they were large and unused.
