As the subject states, I installed via ftp Mandrake 7.1.  Because I wanted a
quick and lean install I deselected many package items.  I say this because
I don't know if I deselected too much.  I tended to avoid deselecting
anything that suggested necessity.  Anyhow, here's a quote.

#startx
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
execue failed for /etc/X11/X (errno2)
_X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno =111 giving up.
Xinit: Connection refused (errno 111)

Any suggestions?  Please express the answer for a newbie to understand.

Thanks
