Do not install gdm/kdm/xdm/... when you need X application, start X server from startx. I thought people suggested. (I may be wring remembering things...) Some X server runs on framebuffer, some not. A few applications are designed to run directly on framebuffer. X itself is not so heavy .... if you know how to use lightly. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch07.en.html (GNOME/KDE are heavy ... though) > Running lenny from netinstall with some console added already but no > graphics yet. Also I have no interest in a GUI for this project. You do not need GUI but X is GUI. You sound like you want graphics. I do not understand what exactly you wish.... FYI: You can see graphics from normal non-X console of PC using zgv: SVGAlib graphics viewer razzle: constantly changing 3D stereogram generator All these use SVGAlib. This is very specialized use case though. Osamu PS: I thought there were extensive thread. Have you read posting to mailing list?
