	I did this with all our VS2000's.  I compiled X11R4 on our VAX 8530,
which is binary-compatible with the VS2000's.  First, I put the entire X11R4
binary hierarchy into a big tar file, which is kept on the VAX.  Then I
wiped the VS2000 disks clean and used setld/ris to install a minimal OS on
the disks.  Finally, I used rsh and tar to transfer the X binaries to 
the VS2000's.  It is a bit of a hassle, but it works.
	(I tried using setld/ris to download X11R4 to the VS2000's, but
ran into problems.  This is Ultrix 2.0, which was probably the cause
of these problems....)
