No matter if I run startx or X -configure, I get: "X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (no souch file or directory), aborting" I guess that's where my problem is. When I did apt-get, I had some problems with a Danish ftp mirror in sources.list, but I solved this by using debian.org. Do you think there could have gone something wrong anyway, and that's why I'm having problems? And if so, how do I fix it, can I ask apt-get to reinstall? -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
