Thanks, that did the trick! btw, the package I needed to install was drakxtools. No problem, I just had to do a little grepping.

I urpmi'd xfree86 and most (all?) packages that had kde in the package name. But when I type startx from the cli, I get various error messages that I can't remember right now, then dumps me back to a command line. I don't have the exact error msgs right now though, but I'm pretty sure that X itself is not starting properly. Do you know what packages I need to install for X?

Hey All, I was experiencing some really aggravating problems installing drake 9.2. Long story short, the install process (text and high/low graphic modes; I tried it all!) would freeze at random times during the package installation phase. I finally got around this by deselecting all packages to install, then choosing "Truly minimum install" option. I would like to get X and a desktop environment up and running, but so far have been unable to get these components completely installed using rpm and urpmi. Is there an automated package installation program that can be run independantly from the installation routine? Or, perhaps, can someone point me in the direction of instructions to install these components manually? Any help would be appreciated.
