Chad: Find your Tiger install diskset. On disk one (the installation disk) is a set of optional install packages. You will have to scroll down the installation screen once you place the disk in your optical drive. (Macs do come with both DVD and CD drives, a DVD writeable disk is called a SuperDisk.) Select the X11 User package and install this and only this package. Once the package installs, select Software Update and update ONLY the X11 user package. Neither installation should require a reboot of your Mac system.
