[SOLVED] Minimal X window installation

igadoter · 08-20-2010, 04:51 AM

Hi,
I want to know which packages from "x" set (slack 13,.1) have to be installed for X server to work. Requirements are really minimalistic. Only English language, no X development, no hardware acceleration, etc.

i would go with full installation of all packages in x/ then remove the unused xf86-input-* and xf86-video-* packages

willysr · 08-20-2010, 05:36 AM

here's another packages which i think will not bee needed
xorg-docs
xorg-server-xephyr
xorg-server-xnest
xorg-server-xvfb
scim-*
compiz

about the fonts, it depends on your need actually

This is what was needed in Slackware 12.2 searching this forum for "minimal, tiny, basic etc." will give more information.

@samac
Thank you. I will try this. At least it is a good starting point.

heres my 700MB slackware current install Mini Template
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/.../Mini.template

If you use input hotplugging you just need xf86-input-evdev instead of those two.
