RE: X Stuff.
Umm, well I am at the point where I am using Dselect to install all the
crap I want, including X and stuff... but it gets so far, then complains
about depending and needing packages which are not available.
I can't remember which ones they were off the top of my head. I am at work
and can't check, but it seemed to me X wasn't finished enuf, and vital
packages weren't available to make X work. So I haven't even installed X at
this stage.
Thanks.

No problem. I have not tried the latest version which supposely fixes
compressed fonts inconvenience. You needed to start xfs (X fonts server)
to work around it. I also noticed that I had to change the permission on
/etc/fb0 to allow regular users to start X. I do not know if it is a
glitch from my side.
The system is a SS1+ with CG3 graphics.
