Hmm. I can see a package called cracklib2 in the repository (password validation or somesuch) but I don't have it installed. I also have X, KDE and Gnome installed and working (I'm running testing, i.e. Sarge). I can also download the package just fine from http://packages.debian.org/testing/utils/cracklib2.html by clicking on the "Go To Download Page" button. I assume that apt-get would also install it but, since I don't wish to do so, I haven't tried. Have you tried using tasksel to install X? It's very useful for things like that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
