[RULE] kdrive for Red hat Linux 9

I've built and installed the kdrive servers for the Shrike release.
The servers work fine with the stock Red Hat XFree86 packages.

I need to fix up the specfile and rebuild the tinyx package, as the 
servers are not currently installed suid, and they must be to work.

In the meantime, here is what I did:
Installed the following packages:

xf86-corefonts-0.2-2                          
cabextract-0.6-1

The 2 above are for Microsoft's core fonts package, and available here:
(This is one of my other projects)
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/font-tool/
                    
fluxbox-0.1.14-1RULErh9 
 
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/XFree86/fluxbox-0.1.14-1RULErh9.i386.rpm  
               
XFree86-TinyX-4.3.0-2RULErh9  
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/XFree86/kdrive/9/XFree86-TinyX-4.3.0-2RULErh9.i386.rpm
(Get the startx and xinitrc files from that directory as well)

Everything else is on CD 1 of the Shrike disks.
           
xinitrc-3.32-1                               
XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-2                
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2                   
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-2                   
XFree86-4.3.0-2                              
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-2                  
Glide3-20010520-25                            
XFree86-xauth-4.3.0-2                         
XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-2                           
XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-2                    
XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-2                    
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-2                          
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-2                   
XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-2                     
cpp-3.2.2-5                                   
libpng-1.2.2-16                               
switchdesk-3.9.8-15                           
desktop-file-utils-0.3-5                     
chkfontpath-1.9.7-1                          
fontconfig-2.1-9                              
ttmkfdir-3.0.9-1                              
freetype-2.1.3-6                              

This installs everything required to satisfy all dependencies.

copy startx to /usr/X11R6/bin/ replacing the stock version.
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvesa /usr/X11R6/bin/X
chmod +s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvesa
cp xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
startx

Other possible kdrive servers are:
# rpm -ql XFree86-TinyX
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xfbdev
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xi810
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xigs
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xmach64
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xsavage
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xsis530
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xtrident
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xtrio
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xts300
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvesa

Once fluxbox is up, right click for a menu, select fluxbox-menu, select 
configure, and enable antialias.
Marvel at the antialiased true type fonts. :)

I'll post screenshots as soon as I finish installing gimp and friends.
