In 2 recent woody installs, I've gotten this error each time after finishing the dbootstrap setup. In one case (an old laptop) the autoconfigure didn't work, and I used xf86cfg to get it work. This is the config program provided by the xfree86 team, and it has the nice feature of not creating a big, complicated xf86config file. It's short and simple. > > >and one of the shutdown messages is also that xdm is not running. > > > > That means you don't have X installed/configured. > > > > Try "apt-get install x-window-system" > > Kent, I assume that's the equivalent of running tasksel and selecting > X-Windows? No, tasksel X-Windows gives you an assortment of window-managers, desktops, and stuff. apt-get install x-window-system just gives you: Depends: x-window-system-core, lbxproxy, proxymngr, twm, xdm, xfs, xfwp, xnest, xprt, xspecs, xterm, xvfb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
