Hi Gang! I have a woody notebook and put XFree86 4.2.0 on it from the tarballs (because of better hdw support than in X v3). Now I want to try out some window managers, but apt-get wants to install xfree86-common every time I ask it for an X app.
The Question: - What packages do I need to mark as "hold" (or better?) to save the XFree86 v4 installation from getting damageed? (I took most of the options offered in the X installation routine, except Japanese fonts etc.) - Where would I have looked to find this out myself if I were a smarter user? - What's the best way to mark those packages so that I can continue life with apt-get?
