Yeah, sorry, I thought about telling you but you were already a knee deep and seemed to know exactly what you were doing, so I didn't think you needed it :)

Hi,

Thanks everyone for replying to my query on building X11. Here are the steps that worked for me. I was able to build it on a version of DSL4.0 that I remastered, but replaced the kernel with kernel 2.4.35.  I have added instructions that are pre-requisites. Hope this helps.

thanks,
Ananda Kammampati
