I am at the same stage as you and have read the Install file 
that came with the list of binaries.  That is a pretty good doc 
to look at.

But i am a newbie too...

It is amazing how hard it is groping in the dark as a newbie - 
run without X they say, but as I have an installed Mandrake 8.1 
I have never run without X and dont know how to run the machine 
without X  What is the close down x command?

Have tried man x and man xfree86 - they dont exist.

~~~

AH!  Just tried info X and man X, that works!  But have greped 
for a close or exit etc. without luck?

Perhaps I need to  boot up without X, where is that set?  I 
thought it might be lilo but /etc/lilo.cfig has nothing obvious.
