You might appreciate the X reorganization that took place for slink, then
-- one of its advantages is the ability to strip X down a lot more than you
used to.You'll need:
xfree86-common
xserver-common
xserver-vga16 (only if you want to use the XF86Setup tool)
xf86setup (only if you want to use it)
xserver-<something> (probably xserver-svga, but this depends on the video card)
xlib6g
xbase-clients
xfonts-base
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-scaled (maybe)
xterm (or some other X terminal emulator, like rxvt -- which is smaller)
twm (or some other window manager, like fvwm)I think that should do it. If I forgot something, apt should haul it in
for you.If you decide to use XF86Setup, you can remove it and xserver-vga16 once
you have configured the X server.This may look like a long list of packages, but the old X arrangement
required xbase, and xbase had a *lot* of stuff in it.I do suggest, however, moving your entire /usr over to the new drive.
Debian does not support, for instance, /usr/bin on one disk partition and
/usr/X11R6 on another. (It's an issue of symbolic links mandated in the
Policy Manual.)--
