...I installed this on my LX.  Had to netboot from my laptop, ran into
problems with the diskette images.

I noticed, as usual w/ -current snapshots, that the X packages were not
included.  Shall I use the 1.5.x series tarballs? Has anything really
changed at all in xsrc related to sparc?

I'll checkout a fresh copy of 'xsrc' and see what's up, never had to do
that before.
