OK. The box has a 6GB disk, which after a small rescue-linux and one hurd partition has a lot of free space, so no problems there. > Almost.

Actually not, as this would crash with /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, which actually has a lot of useful stuff in it. I'll just cross my fingers hoping that nobody explicitly uses /usr/lib/X11. > Yes.

Oops, didn't try that. With "works", I meant "Actually started, even though I was not root, and xterm is a setgid application linking against X11 libraries, meaning that LD_LIBRARY_PATH would be stripped".
