Re: what is "standard" installation?
A quick place to start is by selecting the 'xbase-client' and then you should
get a list of dependancies. This will install most of the stuff you need for a
basic X install. Just make sure you get the right 'xserver-??' packages, you
should probably get the 'xserver-svga' and/or 'xserver-vga'.
You should also select a window manager. Blackbox or sawmill seem to be light
but modern, enlightenment is very nice but much larger...
Hope this helps..
