The ``X-'' prefixed sets include the XFree86 3.11 base distribution, the
libraries, the manual pages, the SVGA server and a set of default
fonts. If you select such an option you will be presented with
a set of menus which allow you to customize these selections for your
desired X window System setup.
An ``X-'' prefixed before a distribution set means that the XFree86
3.1.1u1 base distribution, libraries, manual pages, SVGA server and a
set of default fonts will be selected in addition to the set itself.
If you select such a set, you will also be presented with a set of
menus for customizing the selections to your desired X Window System
setup.
N.B. All references in this document to `complete source' mean the
complete source tree minus any legally encumbered cryptography code.
The "canned" installations are made up as follows:
The current "canned" installations are as follows:

files, profiling libraries and the complete source tree.

When using Custom, most of the sub-distribution choices are fairly
obvious, though two possible exceptions may be the "commerce" and
"xperimnt" distributions:
* The "commerce" directory, as its name implies, is devoted to
commercial offerings. This includes commercial products released
under special arrangement, limited functionality demos, shareware
products (you like it, you buy it), etc.
At the time of this writing, there are unfortunately not enough
commercial offerings to justify a fully split distribution set,
so each product is available both as a subdirectory and as part
of one large archive file. If you select "commerce" from the
distributions submenus then you'll get the big file containing
the entire collection copied to your hard disk. Don't do this
unless you've got at least 10MB to devote to it!
* The "xperimnt" directory contains, not surprisingly, experimental
offerings. Unfinished (or work-in-progress) features, special
purpose drivers and packages, strange proof-of-concept stuff,
it's a mixed bag! Select this item on a distribution menu and
you'll get the whole collection (between 10 and 30MB).
If you're installing from CDROM then all of the commercial and
"experimental" offerings are also easily available in their
individual subdirectories and can be copied to hard disk at
any time.
