I'm not sure the Apple link will do the trick since it's an *update*. My guess is that you better download X11 4.4.0 (that is the version for your OS X 10.4.8) directly from Xfree86, the developers of X11: http://www.xfree86.org/downloads.html BTW there's a version 4.6.0, but as far as I know this isn't for use on a Tiger Mac, rather on Unix machines -- Guy using english OOo 2.0.4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.1 RC 1 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
