How can I install X11

How can I install just X11 from the mac book pro Install dics?

When I insert the disc it only allows me to re-install or clean install the entire osx software. I can't uncheck the system and have just the X11 checked.

I need this software installed so that I can run a few shareware programs that people recommended to me on here.

Is X11 available for download?

It is on the install disk- did you try looking at the disk with the OS loaded? Pop it in you machine and see if you can find it. I went through this not to long ago but don't remember how I did it exatcly. You can't download it from apple.com- it's just an update. Good luck.

I see and XCode foler....is that the same thing? It is 733mb and full of developer tools.

Cool I found it on the main cd page on the bottom under the optional install package.

No, xCode is the developer tools.
Run the Optional Installs.mkpg
You will see x11 under Applications.
