installing/configuring x window system and blackbox wm
running debian 4.0, using the default 2.6.18 kernel, essentially a minimal install (deselected `desktop` option during install, so as not to install gdm and all the other stuff it drags in with it).
i was searching around and don't know exactly what to install...there are a lot of different x* packages (at least it seems, anyway...). does this look right?:
`sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core`
`sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86`
the configuration file for the blackbox wm is ~/.blackbox this is used to change the menu (and possibly other stuff, but i am unsure, as i have not messed with it). in reading the install on the blackbox wiki, it appears that all i need to do is:
`sudo aptitude install blackbox`
after this, `startx` *should* work, right?
thanks in advance

`sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg x-window-system-core blackbox` worked fine.
