Ok, so I upgraded my test machine to woody. Now I'm getting "startx: command not found". Here are my questions:
1) How do I determine the version(s) of X installed on my system 2) Is there a new way to start X (different than startx)? 3) What should I try? Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main Here is: debian:~# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back nethack 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. I'm not sure where to go from here Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Roper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [vox-tech] jay and dselect > On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 12:29:32PM -0600, Jay Strauss wrote: > > I'll upgrade to woody (I don't care).
