Frustration on new install

I guess I'd forgotten how frustrating it was to do a new XEmacs 21.0 installation. Shouldn't efs come with the main tarball so people can install individual packages without having to download a whole 15MB sumo tarball? How am I supposed to know which other packages I need to download just to get efs to work? I've done this before on my work computer, but now I'm trying to install it on my home PC and am feeling very grumbly because of the difficulty of installing additional packages. I don't want to wait for a 15MB download on my 33.3kb/s modem. Anyhow, on another note, I think this may have something to do with Redhat 5.2 (this is a fresh install), but both 20.4 and 21.0.66 give me this odd error when I move my mouse pointer over the toolbar: Can't instantiate image (probably cached): [xbm :mask-file "/usr/X11/include/X11/bitmaps/left_ptrmsk" :mask-data (16 16 [lots of characters that didn't like being pasted]) ") :hotspot-y 1 :hotspot-x 3 :file "/usr/X11/include/X11/bitmaps/left_ptr" :data (16 16 [lots of other characters that hate being pasted])] I copid the specified bitmap and mask file over from my work computer, which is running an older version of Redhat and doesn't give this error in XEmacs, but it didn't seem to fix anything. Has anybody else seen this?
