Umm, seems to be you might want to re-install. I was able to get
OpenWindows and OS on a Sparc1 (larger executables) with 80 Megs of swap
on 2X104 drives.  For XNeWS, maybe it does require the "extra" fonts ?!?
On the ld.so problem, doesn't one need to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set as
described in the manual (or have ldconfig'ed /usr/openwin/lib) in order
for it to find these (?)

My apologies if my memory is faulty.
