[ale] Anyone know how to compile Xfree86 4.1.0?

[Stephen Lastinger]

Yeah, be prepared to do somthing else *wink*.  X is the longest compile
I've ever seen (the last one I did was on a 450Mhz and if memory serves
that took about 1.25-1.75 hours!).

Just don't forget to make a backup (and then remove) /usr/X11R6 and
/etc/X11 or where ever slack puts these dirs.
