Hi,

No problem.  Did you use the softfloat build? If so go to

ftp://ftp.ziaspace.com/pub/NetBSD/m68k/NetBSD-2.0.2-mac68ksoftfloat/X11_1.6.2/

and grab all of the .tgz files there.

As root

cd /

mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6.save
tar xzvpf each file

If you feel unconfortable with the above then the sysinst install kernel
has some nice option that allows you to install extra sets.  Just choose 
this but you'll still have to do xserver_color.tgz by yourself.

Watch the xserver_color.tgz one since I don't think I tared that one up 
from /

(now from memory)

cd /usr/X11R6/bin
rm X
ln -s X_color X

If you didn't use the softfloat build then the directions are almost the
same except you get the files from ftp.netbsd.org or a mirror and you
get the color X server from wherever the FAQ says it is, somewhere in
the ftp.netbsd.org ... contrib area.

Does this help?

cheers

bruce
