Getting X11 to run

I downloaded
cygwin-xfree-4.0-cygwin-v-1.tar.bz2
cygwin-xfree-x11r6.4-cygwin-B20.1.tar.bz2
extra-cygwin-xfree.tar.bz2
I expanded them all and was left with directories:
X11R6
X11R6.4
extra
Since X11R6 came from the v-1 archive and I am running the CD (1.0)
version of Cygwin, I moved X11r6 to under contrib. I also moved the
contents of extra/etc to /etc (but no the passwd and termcap files, I
already had those)
I then went to the bin of the X11R6 directory and tried startx with
these results:
xinit not found
xinit lives in /contrib/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit
Now, I'm very rust on X11 setup - the last time I ever did it was under
Linux a year ago. What else do I have to do to get X11 fired up under
Cygwin? Do I need LessTiff? What obvious piece am I missing?
Thanks,
Matthew Persico
