Xfree 4.2?

[Charles Blair <c-blair@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu>]

   I have been told that my laptop won't do graphics without
version 4.2 of xfree.  I tried downloading some files in a
directory "branden" with names like xfreecommonv14.2.deb and
also a v24.2.deb.  After using dpkg --intsall on these,
it still seems to be trying to run 4.1
unsucessfully.

   Could somebody supply idiot-proof instruction on getting
4.2 going?

   PS I suspect my laptop needs some specific stuff of its own,
but installing xfree 4.2 seems to be a necessary first step.

  Thanks very much for any help.
