Looks ok to me. The only thing i might change is to configure PPP before
XF86.

The package is named "xserver-svga", it should be in main/x11. In the
dselect package listing, you can press '/' to enter search mode, then type
the name of the package and it'll search for it for you. Alternatively,
you can find it manually on the CD and do "dpkg -i package.deb"
