I copied all the binaries and subdirectories from XF86.org release 4.3 to a
cd (took about 2 hours).  These are the wrong binaries?

copied Xinstall.sh (from the common subdirectory) to a temporary directory
under root (/root/jrmtemp).

ran:   sh Xinstall.sh -check   from that temporary directory.

Got an error message saying I needed "extract" or "extract.exe" in the same
directory.

found "extract" in one of the "linux-ix86-glibc2x" subdirectories (I think
it was 23, I see now that "extract" is a different size in each of the
subdirectories.)

reran:   sh Xinstall.sh -check

got the a.out message, called for help.

Thanks!
