To make sure everything you need is installed, do apt-get install x-window-system-core Use dpkg to check the status of a package: dpkg -l xserver-xfree86 should show ii for installed. You can, by the way, use etherconf (apt-get etherconf, dpkg-reconfigure etherconf) to configure/reconfigure your ethernet card if you don't want to edit /etc/network/interfaces directly. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
