thanks for the clues on urpmi, went smoothly
its nearly done, and xfs starts and stops properly
xserver now only is stopped by a failing dcopserver
the error message is a red or blue screen (yep, KDE
has its own BSOD!)
with a dialog box:
could not read connection list
Actually, run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status
xfs status returned:
usage: xfs [-config config_file] [-port tcp_port] [-droppriv] [-daemon]
[-nodaemon] [-user user_name]
xfs dead but subsys locked
so xfs seems to exist, though status is not an option?
but running same command in directory

Try putting something like:

ok. Now that I've seen the installed package list it seems that you do
have xfs installed but probably not running. Switch back to:
FontPath unix/:-1
and do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
I replied to this once but an SMTP server somewhere along the way denied
it so you get the abridged version (lucky you :))

For planetmirror, use something like:
