Hmm, I must be blind. I can't seem to find any X11, XFree86, Xwhatever,
etc. packages for GUI stuff. Also, is this net installer really limited
compared to regular Debian installer for 64-bit non-Mac PCs? Am I
expecting too much from an old PowerBook G4? :(

between hunger and anger is a thin line. And money that might have gone
to wages went for gas, for guns, for agents and spies, for blacklists,
for drilling. On the highways the people moved like ants and searched
for work, for food. And the anger began to ferment." --John Steinbeck's
