Description Marc Fonvieille 2002-05-18 12:40:01 UTC
In section 2.9.11 of the Handbook we can find many "X-server" or "X
server", only this latter should be used. Read the patch below for more
details.

Fix: Apply the patch to handbook/install/chapter.sgml

Hello Marc,

Well spotted.  You are right that one of the two (and not both) should
be used.  I'm more in favor of X&nbsp;server or X-server, since "X
server" can be wrapper in many funny ways as shown below:

	After you install the X
	server, ...

What do you think?

On www.xfree86.org, they use XFree86 X server
(http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/DESIGN.html for example). So X&nbsp;server
seems to be the best solution.
And maybe <title>Configure X-Server</title> should be <title>Configure
XFree86 X Server</title>; and in the text X&nbsp;server should be used.

cheers,
Marc
