Re: Alpha problems
That's OK, I don't really need any XFree server (my computer came with
MetroX for free). However, a lot of the packages would bomb on
installation if there was no /etc/XF86Config, so I was going to run
the XF86Setup program. Interestingly enough, though, just "touch
/etc/X11/XF86Config" is enough to make the postinst's happy...
