What do I need those for? gpm is for console, fonts are for the
fontserver only, and a windowmanager is only needed by the server.
xbase lets you run X-applications, not the server. e.g. you can
install xbase and xbill and do
xbill -display <somewhere with an x-server>
There should be a virtual or dummy X package that depends on
everything normally needed and suggest everything else one might need,
so user can select the large bunch of X stuff needed together.
Actually, when it comes to X, the xfsetup package is severly broken,
since it has wrong dependencies and is missing vital once. I got it
running, but it still complains about its docs being missing or
so. Also xvidtune doesn't work.

I have both and a pretty complete mirror (just updating at the
moment). I will have a try at it.
May the Source be with you.

PS: How well does the installation cope with having /dev/hda11
/dev/hda12 and /dev/hda13 as isofs? :)
