Is there any ftp site where X386 is organized as above?  Everywhere I
looked (uunet, export.lcs), it seems that only older (version 1.0?) 
binaries are available.   I have seen a similar questions posted in
this news group a few days ago.  Can someone with X386 experience post
a definite roadmap on how to install X386? 

Questions I would like to see answered:

. Which distribution files are needed?

. Are the "fonts", "man", "inc" and "lib" "bin" files unchanged since
  version 1.0?

. Are the server binaries available or you have to rebuild from the
  source for each OS (Esix ISC etc)?

. Who should use which version of the server (1.1 1.1a 1.1b)? 
  From a posting by Thomas Roell, I understand that 1.1b is still beta.
  Is that why the binaries are not available?
