Thanks Christopher,

When I first installed, I left everything set at 'Default'.  Now I've re-run
the setup program and I navigated to that screen with X11 at the bottom.
The categories all have a little + sign and if I click it, they expand and
give various sub-options.  But if I click the + sign for 'X11' there are no
sub-options.  The only thing I can do with the X11 branch is change it from
'Default' to 'Install'.  However, that makes no difference to the installed
file count.  This makes me suspect that X11 is probably already installed.
Is there a way to check?

Thanks,

John
