Thanks Terry. I'm still a bit lost though. With XFree86 there are a
bundle of packages which need to be downloaded (if the Debian
installation is anything like installing by ftp'ing from XFree86).
However, I can't find any Howto's for a Debian installation. It must be
different to the instructions you get from XFree86 because not all of
the packages are available in the Debian ftp directory (this is at
sunsite.anu.edu.au). Could anyone tell me if there is some docco on
installing Debian X packages, and if not how does anyone manage to get
it installed?
Thanks,
