Re: [pooh@lava.cs.tu-berlin.de: Debian Package xserver-common_4.0.1-11]
Rene (sorry, no idea how to get the nifty ' atop the 'e'. :) --
I haven't got a clue what you mean. :)
It isn't so obvious to me, nor likely obvious to anyone else, that the
3.3.6 X server is in the package labeled 4.0.1-11. :) Sometimes, it is
the obvious things that need to be pointed out -- since it mightnot be
obvious to anyone else. :)
Chances are good you want the task-x-window-system package installed.
