Hi Harold,
I guess I got confused by the different versions and different download
sites there are. Sometimes parts are not downloaded of which the setup
program sees (or thinks) they already exist on the system, which left me
with an incomplete version of Xfree.
Yesterday I deleted all there was and started a new download which seems
to incorporate everything.
Thanks however, Hans.

Hi all,
Having downloaded a version of XFree86, I see a difference between a
previous version and this one:
- When installing de XFree86 option only, no fonts are installed. I
had to install (= copy) font files from a previous version and that
worked. Am I missing something?
You need the XFree86-fnts package at a minimum. I am surprised that
this was not automatically selected. Are you sure that you selected
XFree86-base? That package lists XFree86-fnts as a dependency, so it
should have been automatically selected.
- Also, some useful .bat files of which startxwin.bat is one, are
missing from the current installation. Even when installing the
complete package wouldn't help. Why was that?
You have to pick the XFree86-startup-scripts package.
Hope that helps.
Harold
