i just bought this macbook pro and i want to install X11 so i can use open office, but the instruction given on apple's website for installing X11 don't follow. When I click on that custom button in the Mac OS X Installer app I get a list of apps that are already installed like iDVD, iCal, etc, etc. and not the heirarchy of available packages like the documentation says i should. furthermore, when i search for the package file itself, I can't find it. I see X11SDK but i don't need that. The correct package should be X11User.pkg.
The second install disc has no files on it except the text file telling me to use the first installation disc and only insert the second when the installer tells me.
Maybe this is all too new and apple hasn't updated their documentation yet? In any case, how do I get X11 installed?

You should be able to download Neo Ofiice, I believe that it does not require X11. As for installing X11, I had to reinstall OSX and do a custom install at that time. I'm not sure if it will work trying to install it after the fact.

Browse your install disc for "OptionalInstalls.mpkg". Double click on that and select to only install X11. I would also suggest installing the sdk package too. It is really quite small, and some X11 apps do need the additional libs in the dev package.

This worked for me. Thanks Michael! I used Spotlight to search the install disk #1. For some reason, the optionalinstalls.mkpg is buried there somewhere. Installing this allowed me to run Inkscape - an open source vector drawing package.
