I am using apt-get...so this does make total sense that all the depends are being sucked down via aptitude.
Thanks...I have a little more to look at now which helps a ton. -Stephen -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 3:30 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Minimal X-Windows Setup On Mon, Oct 02, 2006 at 12:24:10PM -0400, Stephen Yorke wrote: > > All, > > I am looking for a basic X-Windows setup&I have tried several things but I am > just not getting it. > > Does anyone have some sort of package list which will get me a BASIC/MINIMAL X > setup.

So checkout the aptitude options to turn this off and it will install less things.
