Re: Installing X Windows using dselect

[Leandro Guimarães Faria Corcete Dutra]

I want to install xWindows using dselect. I do not know if I am using
dselect properly.

You could also take a look at the FAQ-O-Matic:
http://www.debian.org/fom/1.html.  And be patient, this is the most
difficult thing for a newbie.

 /pub/debian and search only for stable packages. I get a list of a 
 whole ton of packages. I just don't know which one is xWindows. I 
 selected something called xserver for S3 video cards, but it was only 
 about 1meg. I thought that if I just picked one package it would know 
 that I need more than just that one to run xWindows and automaticcally 
 pick the other packages that I need, it didn't do that. I like using 
 dselect it is really cool when you know what the heck is going on but I 
 am confiused.

You need Xbase and Xlib.
