Following an update from a working "stable" Debian installation, to "unstable" (from an Australian mirror), running startx elicited:
X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory) Trying: strings /usr/bin/X11/X | grep X | more shows "/etc/X11/X" appears in the executable. The update had blown away startx, necessitating an apt-get in order to get onto first base. I'm now in a quandary: Did the update blow away more than just a little, necessitating a re-installation from CD? Erik
