I just upgraded to slink, and followed the instructions to delete xbase. Lots of problems have resulted.
I am very confused by the new X stuff. Startx wasn't installed, but I found it on the CDRom and installed it. To get startx to work I had to make a link from /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/XF86Config and another from /usr/X11R6/bin.XF86_SVGA to X. But still I can't run startx as user, only as root. I suspect that I'm doing this all wrong but I don't know where to find out how to do it. I'm willing to RTFM but which FM? Any pointers please?
