X should be on the first disk or possibly the second. Did you look in the /usr directory for a directory named X11R6? If this is there then X should be installed. If it is then try adding the following to ".profile" in your home directory: {if this file does not exist you can use "pico" to create it.}
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin" export PATH Better yet to change this system wide (for all users) "sudo pico / etc/profile" and add the following to the end of the PATH specified there -- :/usr/X11R6/bin This will allow the terminal to find the executables in that directory without having to specify the full path. I am not sure why but very often the PATH to X is not configured during install and needs to be added manually. So double check, you might have X installed and the terminal just can't find it. If there is no X11R6 directory in /usr then X is probably not installed.
