(This is a project for work.) Maybe I'm beyond my skills here :), but I keep getting an error that X-server files are not installed . I installed a ton of packages (another mistake) , including several X-window managers. When I go to /stand to run sysinstall , I get the error message: command not found. When I boot from the floppy set, and use sysinstall, and go to post-install config, I get an error stating that X-window server files are not installed. I'm not a *N*x or Linux guru. Help, please?
