I was going to propose something similar, but excluding not-so-popular packages from the dependency chain, since this is a "basic" desktop. x-window-system depends on the following packages, sorted by regular usage: xterm 404 246 111 1 xfs 275 96 49 0 xdm 83 88 20 0 twm 49 230 51 0 xnest 29 212 66 0 xvfb 26 171 53 0 xprt 16 198 54 1 proxymngr 14 107 37 0 lbxproxy 14 97 41 0 xfwp 9 93 27 0 x-window-system-core 0 0 0 135 xspecs 0 0 0 195 For a "basic-desktop" task, xterm, xfs, xdm and twm would probably suffice (plus x-window-system-core, which adds the remaining bits). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
