I have a miniPc, can't install the heavy gnome or kde on it . I want to

So I have to install the system whitout X, and complete it with small X
later, I don't know what are the required packages to run correctly the X.


My smallest box is a 486 with 32MB ram with a 512 MB drive. Granted it
can't run Etch anymore but it runs up-to-date xorg from OpenBSD.

I use icewm on all my boxes.

If you only want to show one window, then technically you don't need a
window manager. For convenience, you could have rxvt start then run
your app from that. Set window size and position with --geometry.
