Re: XFree86 + Netscape

You definitely need to get X working before attempting to install
Netscape.

It is possible to download X from XFree86.org, install it on your Debian
system and get it working, but it would be alot easier, especially for a
beginner, to install the equivelent .deb packages.

I suggest you work on getting dselect to work via the ftp method.  It will
resolve dependencies, fetch the files, and install them for you.  Failing
that, consider getting a CDROM copy of Debian.

As a minimum, you will need the Xbase package, an Xserver package
appropriate for your card, and some other stuff that dselect will identify
for you.
