We might want to add a bit to this one, between "cd xc" and "make World >& world.log". It would be good to mention that the user can copy config/cf/xf86site.def to config/cf/host.def, then edit it to customize the resulting X installation. For example, if they already have Freetype installed, they can link X against the installed Freetype rather than building the included version. I don't remember what the option is, but it's in there somewhere.

For this one, a link to the BLFS book might be good too (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs), since it has a full section on X and its dependencies. But whatever.

(Mike -- when you decide whether or not to change this stuff, go ahead and delete this post, since it doesn't belong in the final how-to thread. )

Oh -- might want to add a comment to the first line, too. Something like:

"The lines starting with '>' are the actual commands ... Do not type the '>' character."
