So xmodmap works with X? That would solve the problem...also,

Well, I seem to recall that Norton Utilities gets most of the info, tho I 
haven't tried it recently (I lost the disk :-o)....couldn't it be 
disassembled and transplanted out? It seems like it could get a bunch of 
info from MacOS...

Does the mac X11R6 actually allow you to view exported Xwindows over 
SLIP? There's a linux box at my school I've got root on, and if I could 
export programs that haven't been ported to my mac, I'd giddily jump 
around the room... :)

I also want to ask you for some advice (you as in y'all, if you're frum 
'round these hir perts) I've got an 80 meg partition with which to 
install BSD. Is this too small to comfortably run X, g++, and a full 
kernel? If not, I can clear about 60 megs on another drive -- could I use 
that solely for storage? ie an apps drive and a dox drive?

Sorry I went on for so long... :) anybody?
