You may be able to just down load the X server (the part that serves the
graphics from the computer to the graphics card) instead of the hole X set.
You can find X in many different places, inc. ftp.linuxberg.com and
sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk if in the uk or sunsite.unc.ac if in the u.s. Any will
work, but I find LINUX berg to be best! and is the easies to find your way
around. I would sugest getting KDE or GNOME as well - it is worth the extra
download
