I don't know about the lilo isssue but yes the X issue is a well known problem. Do a apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xbase-clients (that one might be xclients-base) xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi and run xf86config to create a xf86config file and you should be fine. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Daniel Toffetti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 14:24:53 -0300
