Don't make life hard for yourself once your system is installed and you
want to use X add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
deb http://ftp.netgod.net/ x/
This site has the latest debian X 3.3.3.1 packages built for slink.
Since you have a TNT2 card you can also get a X server from Nvidia that
has better support for the TNT2 card. I forget the address but go to
there drivers download page. Just put the XF86_SVGA server under
/usr/local somewhere and modify the /etc/X11/Xserver file to point to
the new binary.
