No matter if I run startx or X -configure, I get: "X: cannot stat
/etc/X11/X (no souch file or directory), aborting"
I guess that's where my problem is.
When I did apt-get, I had some problems with a Danish ftp mirror in
sources.list, but I solved this by using debian.org. Do you think
there could have gone something wrong anyway, and that's why I'm
having problems? And if so, how do I fix it, can I ask apt-get to
reinstall?
