+<h2>Additional Things to Install</h2>
+<h3>XCode Tools/Developer Tools</h3>
+<p>You may find that only using binary packages limits the utility of 
Fink.  There are fewer packages available in binary format than from 
source, and the binary versions are generally older..  To build packages 
from source, you will need to install the Developer Tools (known as the 
XCode Tools for Mac OS 10.3 and later).</p>
+<p>Although a Developer Tools/XCode Tools version usually comes with 
your OS install media, you'll probably want a newere one.  Go to <a 
href="http://connect.apple.com">the Apple Developer Connection</a> to 
download a newer version (and any updates) after free registration.</p>

+<h3>X11</h3>
+      <p>Almost all of the applications on Fink that have graphical 
user interfa
+ces (GUIs) require some flavor of X11 (since most were originally 
developed on p
+latforms that only had that as a GUI option).</p>
+      <p>Apple provides its own X11 distribution for OS 10.3 and 10.4. 
  This is
+the easiest option with which to get started.  They have elected to 
split it int
+o two parts:</p>
+      <ul>
+        <li>The <em>X11User </em>package contains everything you need 
just to ru
+n Apple's X11.  It is available on your OS install media for 10.3 and 
10.4 as an
+ optional install.</li>
+        <li>The
+<em>X11SDK</em>
+package contains the development headers.  You need this if you want to 
build an
+ything from source that uses X11.  This package is available as part of 
the XCod
+e Tools, and installed by default with XCode 2.x.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Once you've installed X11 Fink should automatically register it.  If 
you're having problems check out the <a 
href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#apple-x11-wants-xfree86">FAQ 
entry</a> on X11 installation problems</p>
