Well this mail came there so you managed to do it :-) Lets get started!

Gentlemen, this fellow of ours is having a problem, he have downloaded
xfree, installed it, I think all by the manual.. (I assisted him a
little and can fill out with some of my thoughts)

When he runs startxwin.bat/sh the X-window pops up, but then
closes. Reading the /tmp/Xlog.txt (or what the file is called) the
last thing printed there was that it couldn't find font fixed, when
doublechecking he seemed to have the font 6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

(dug up the fontfilename from my fonts.alias and fonts.dir)

(Payam, send the logfile to the list)

He has two network cards, could it be something there messing up??
