How are you installing Debian 2.0? Via ftp? Make sure you are
installing
the libc6 version of XWindow (3.3.2.1-1). This is available on
ftp.debian.org at 'dists/hamm/main' (using ftp of dselect). Are you
installing debian 2.0 from the install disks, or are you trying to upgrade
an existing Debian 1.3.1 to 2.0? If you are doing the latter, you should
start with the autoup script from the Developer's Corner on www.debian.org.
Read the HowTo that is there as well.
