Well, I downloaded the files in the patches folder from the XFree server, the thing is I dont know what to do with the strange files, I dont know the command to execute them to patch my exisiting 4.0.1 .
I really dont want to download the whole my binaries with my ISDN connection, so is there a way to get it done with the patch files`?

You kinda of just install over it... you open up a console... "su" go to where ever your files are then run ./Xinstall.sh and just say yes to everything (minus the japaneses docs... well unless you prefer the docs to be in japanese).

If ./Xinstall.sh doesn't work... (and it is there) try doing chmod 777 Xinstall.sh and then try running it again (or ./Xinstall.sh)

Hmm..I thought that Xinstall file works only with the binaries, does itv work with the patch files aswell?
Thanks
