Hmm, I could agree with that. I would prefer Recommend because without libxaw, xf86cfg is useless. apt-get will use minimal approach in resolving what packages to get, and dselect will offer to install recommend-ed packages. > > xf86cfg doesn't seem the best way to configure the X server anyway; it > didn't have information on my video card, despite my video card being > supported.
