Re: X Question
Hi,
apt-get install xserver-xfree86
If u already have xserver-xfree86 do this
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
apt-get install gnome
startx
That should get u working
probably the x-window-system package is not installed, by installing gnome all
over again it could fix ur problem
Regards,
Vijaya
