[ale] Why

[Bao Ha]

I 
believe Debian will allow you to install without X.

On 
certain headless systems, I need X so I can run vncserver.  I have not 
figured out how
<SPAN 
class=535072220-03052001>to minimize X yet.

  <FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial 
  size=2>That's a real good question.  I just recently tried to set up an 
  X-less disk-limited machine for bind/dhcpd under RH6.2 and it was pulling the 
  same kind of stunts.

  Out 
  of curiosity, I renamed a directory that held a lot of X stuff (somewhere 
  under /usr, I think) to see if it affected anything and yes, things broke, so 
  I renamed it back.

  I 
  really wish distros were more straightforward w.r.t. setup options than just 
  giving you "server," "workstation," and "custom."  Distros are 
  complex enough that if you select "custom," you don't get a good 
  feel for even what the provided starting point gets you (at least I don't, but 
  I don't think I'm unusually clueless).

    Why
    Why when I load RH 7.1 and say no X widows, does netscape 
    get loaded. Why when I say no X windows, Does it try 
    to configure my video card for X?
