Hi, I'm a noob to linux.  I'm trying to get X running on my ThinkPad 701C.  It's an old 486.  I downloaded the XFree86.dsl and installed it, but I'm still having trouble getting X to start.

I downloaded a configuration file from the internet, but I'm having trouble with this part of the installation info:

CHANGE /home/dsl/.xserverrc to: exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86  -nolisten tcp

Can someone hold my hand through this process?

Thanks!

At a bash prompt, xterm or whatever.

Code Sample
rm /home/dsl/.xserverrc
echo /usr/bin/X11R6/bin/XFree86  -nolisten tcp > /home/dsl/.xserverrc
