Installing X11 on OS X 10.4 Tiger

After a month without X11, I've finally have X11 working on my new iBook. The installer that apple has online DOES NOT WORK. Apple mentions:

10.4 customers can install X11 by using the Tiger DVD installer disk.

In fact, you must use the installer from the Tiger disk, as the downloadable installer doesn't work, reporting that you already have a newer version of the package.

Unfortunatelly the installer is kinda hidden so here are the steps:

Insert your Tiger (10.4) install disk.

what you see when you insert the dvd

Scroll Down to the Optional Packages

use the installer for optional packages hidden below the fold

Then choose X11 under packages

choose X11
