I need Mesa's Glut, which didn't come with XFree86-4.5.0.
Mesa includes Mark Kilgard's original GLUT. That has license issues
that some find objectionable, so most Linux distros and (presumably)
XFree86 don't ship it.
If you
chmod +s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
Will give the server root's permissions.

I can't get you the log file because I can't copy it from its location, when

Hello there, I just want to get all programs associated with
xfree86 off my linux server and try to install it from scratch. Is there any

If you can't boot at all, there are two methods that I have used. First
if your distribution comes with a rescue CD, you can boot off of that.
In Redhat, you can boot off disk 1 and enter linux rescue.
If you don't have a rescue CD, the procedure is a little more involved,

I assume you are working on the right file that is /etc/inittab. vi

Once you get to the shell prompt in rescue (or single user) mode, about
the only editor that you can count on having access to is vi. To change
the 5 to a 3, type:
vi /etc/inittab
In the editor window, navigate your cursor over the 5 and press
r3
