Thanks for your info. I appreciate it. But it's a quite avoidable round-about. I would like to dispense with Terminal to do this tiny job. Why couldn't they just put another copy of README.rtf next to the X11UserForMacOSX.mpkg? That shouldn't be really hard.Kow K writes:As far as "what's this?" is concerned, I suggest you read the README provided in the distribution - it covers everything which was added.The fink-installed packages should also work just fine.Actually, there is no README at all. There is only information given within the .pkg installer, which is incredibly annoying. IMO, there should be a separate readme file which can be read before opening the pkg.Agreed. This interface isn't really user-friendly. ;-)PKG files are just funky 'bundles'. Mount the DMG, and open a terminal window. 'cd' into /Volumes/X11\ User*/ to get into the mounted volume. Then cd X11UserForMacOSX.mkpkg/Contents/Resources In that directory you can see 'ReadMe.rtf'. That should be the read-me file: you should be able to open and read it with the TextEdit application.
I don't think this kind of round-aboutness is conforming to the user-friendliness that Apple's been always advertising for.
