Yup! That's my first issue. The machine is a Compaq Presario 700US on which I did an ftp install from debian.org using the idepci floppy set.
I was a little surprised that the online installation guide doesn't take you through X-setup, I'd have thought that deserves a chapter all its own. Oh well....
During package download, I simply used tasksel, and selected just about everything except the "Jr." package, Fortran, and the server stuff; which I skipped. I went through the various configuration dialogs (network, etc.) but there was nothing about X.
Now that the machine's booted, I can find the various X11 directories, and they're mostly populated, but one thing I have not found is the X server itself. Where's the executable? What's its name? I wonder if I missed a package...?
