startx missing in potato - 4.0.3 SOLVED
Well, I actually got 4.0.3 going now. Here's a
summary of what I did, and what went wrong... and
what fixed it.
First off, I added the following to my sources.list:
# Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 - XFree86 Version 4.0.3 - added 05/24/01
at 20:35
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/all/
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/
I then preceeded to do an apt-get update followed by a
dist-upgrade.
This replaced / updated the system to XFree86 4.0.3, but I
found out
that the xbase-clients package didn't come over due to a
dependency
issue, which was libfreetype6. I fired up lynx and grabbed the
deb
file, installed via dpkg and this allowed me to finally get the
xbase-clients package, thus restoring startx in /usr/X11R6/bin.
I have the output of apt-get and the errors. If anyone is
interested I'll post it in a follow-up message.
Thanks goes out to Paul T. Wright, who pointed me in
the right direction. And others also!
