I never done this, so some additional questions:
Do I have access to the net within that environment? I just have some
pre-release slink CDs, so I have to upgrade to the current point
release by ftp (by an ISDN line - it is accessed like a NIC).
Do I have access to $DISPLAY somehow and can I use startx, so I can
test X packages directly?
