Odd X problem (Slink)
I installed Slink this morning; debian seems to be up and running just
fine. X, however, is another matter.
xdm tries to find an xserver, and can't find a /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
It just isn't there. Startx also can't start x, but it doesn't even tell
me why, so I'm going with xdm's explanation.
I suspect that my problem arose in the selection of tasks (maybe I should
have just selected a profile, but NOOO...). I selected one of the two X
tasks, but NOT the one that said something like "minimal X." Could that be
part of the problem, and if so, what individual .debs should I go back
onto the CD-ROM to get? If not, what could be causing the problem? Should
I just bite the bullet and reinstall?
