I can't see why it wouldn't work. Now, why would you want to install it? Well, there are a few open source applications out there (GIMP comes to mind <http://www.gimp.org>. GIMP is more or less a free PhotoShop wannabe) that require this kind of X.11 support. There is also the FINK project <http://fink.sourceforge.net/> that allows you to run those X applications on OS X. -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* Fortrash /for'trash/ n.: Hackerism for the FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) language, referring to its primitive design, gross and irregular syntax, limited control constructs, and slippery, exception-filled semantics. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
