X and Fluxbox :: SVGA Xserver won't load
Look in the menus, you'll see a "enable apt" and click on that, then you can run apt-get from a xterm window.
On my laptop, since X wasn't running at all, what I had to do was to boot the dsl iso on another machine, do all that stuff to get the svga, make the XF86_SVGA.dsl on that machine, then save it and then move it to my laptop.
