The following is a transcript of my attempt to install X

% mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /path/to/X11.iso
% /n/dist/X11.setup     # note no output
% cd /n/dist
% cat X11.db
% cat X11.log           # again, no output

so let's try it the hard way...

% cpdir -mgu sys /sys
% cpdir -mgu 386 /386
% mv /386/bin/ape/psh /386/bin/ape/psh.old  # backup
% cp ape_psh /386/bin/ape/psh
% cd /sys/src/X11
% ape/psh               # now just following the instructions..
$ make
making all in ./config...
making all in config/cf...
making all in config/imake...
Make: Don't know how to make ../../X11/Xosdefs.h. Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1
$

I hope this helps someone figure out the problem. Big, kludgey,
ugly X11 on small, neat, elegant Plan 9 is too much fun to pass
up ;-)
