Other Help Topics :: need help installing xfree86

I did a frugal install of 2.0 and I'm having troubles with xfree86...
I keep getting an error stating the XF86Config-4 is write protected when I try to copy from one file and into another in beaver and then save it to the /etc/X11 folder.
When I try to copy it in emelfm.bin, it says
mv: unable to open ' /etc/x11/XF86Config-4': permission denied

Any help? Sorry, I'm a total noob <_<

You need to be "root" or sudo to write it the /etc/X11 folder. The other thing is that doing the frugal install, I don't believe the changes you make will stay after reboot. I had to do a full hd install to make XFree work.

For frugal:

1) Copy the XF86Config-4 file somewhere that is writeable by user dsl, like /home/dsl/XF86Config-4.
2) Add this to /opt/bootlocal.sh:
cp /home/dsl/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/
chown 0.0 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
3) If XF86Config-4 is not in /home/dsl, make sure its path is listed in .filetool.lst
4) Make a backup
