If you look in "Packages" for xbase or xbase-clients,
you will see a list of dependencies. You will also need
a monitor driver (vga or svga or something). If you install these
with dselect, other dependencies may arise. Satisfy them as they
come up. Some of the packages listed in xbase are:
rstart, rstartd, twm, xbase-clients, xdm, xfree86-common, xfs,
xlib6g, xlib6g-dev, xmh, xproxy, xserver-common, xsm & xterm.
When you get it running, you may purge xbase.
Stay with it, X is a great system. -jw
