Re: Xwindows packages which one???
Sorry about including all this replies, I just don't want to miss what I recieved so far. Any way, I really appreciate everyones replies... But I'm still having problems. Dwarf, I let dselect install xbase and I used the default dependencies. It didn't work, there is something wrong on how the packages get installed. The default doesn't work....
