I've done it in mandrake 7.1 I don't recommend you install 4.01 unless you
really need to. I did it to make my voodoo5 work.
There are two ways you can do it one of which wouldn't work for me ;-)
1. You can download the 4.01 RPMs from the mandrake cooker site.
2. You can go to http://www.xfree86.org and download the binaries for X4.01
from thier ftp site. Read the installation instructions and follow them
carefully. If you do it this way, the first time you startx after upgrading
you will start with a really bland window manager. You can change that but I
don't remember exactly how. There was an email about it on this list today
however.
Good Luck!

>I would like to install the xfree 4.01 i download on my Linux Mandrake 7.1...
my question is.. is it easy to install it over the xfree4.0??? And what i have
to backup to be sure that if something goes wrong i can replace the old xfree
without problems? And last question because Linux Mandrake has some different
named dirs than default Linux.. Should i change or rename something before
trying to install the xfree 4.01.. have anyone tried it yet? Any advice for
me?
