Use the OSX DVD that came with your mac, run the installer, and when
you get to the "installation type" section of the install select
"Custom install" rather than easy install -- this will give you a
list of packaged to install -- Select X11 and click continue --
Once it's done, eject the DVD -- put it somewhere safe and have fun
with with your new computer!
Please forward this info to the twit at Apple, while I guess X11 is
third party software, Apple tweak it enough that I would think that
the folks in tech support would know what is on their own install DVD!

I managed to install something named "X11SDK.pkg", but still cannot
install OO on the iMac Intel. When installed, it's named X11 SDK.
Yesterday morning I asked one of the Apple Tech Support people,
with the response "we don't support third party applications" and
she had never heard of "X-11."
What does X-11 do? What folder is it in? Does it have a different
name when installed? Do I need to launch it before installing OO?
Is there a Readme or FAQ on this OO install process for the iMac
Intel?
Really appreciate the help and sorry to ask so many Newbie questions.

On my brand new iMac-Intel I've successfully downloaded OO for Mac,

the icon, and I get the same negative result when in the box for OO.
Someone said I need X-11. Where is that?
On the installation CD for your OSX.
