Re: starting x

startx is not part of the X server, it is in the package x-base-clients.

You should:

  apt-get install x-window-system-core

or probably:

  apt-get install x-window-system


you can look at what each of these "meta packages" depends on with:

  apt-cache show x-window-system-core

you can see reverse dependencies with

  apt-cache rdepends xterm

you can find out what package contains a certain file with "apt-file":

  apt-get install apt-file
  apt-file search startx
  apt-cache rdepends x-base-clients

etc.


good luck!



x-window-system is the one I was thinking of, sorry!

startx is actually part of xbase-clients, which installing x-window-system would end up installing.
