If it has nothing in it, then no, it's not okay. However, I see that you've typed "etc/apt/sources.list"; that's a totally different file (in most cases) than "/etc/apt/sources.list". So is the above a typo, or did you really mean "etc/apt/sources.list"? Once you have a suitable "/etc/apt/sources.list" file, such as this: > deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib > deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free you can install X with the commands: > aptitude update > aptitude install x-window-system If you want KDE or Gnome or Icewm, etc, you can add them with commands like: > aptitude install icewm > aptitude install kde > aptitude install gnome -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
