But, despite choosing one of the X distributions, and hitting commit, neither any of the X files are installed, or the xf86config file are installed. This is the fifth or sixth time that I have attempted this installation. I have verified that I have downloaded all of the necessary directories for any X distributions, but still, X will not install. What is wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
