From what little I can see, Lunar Linux is totally screwed up right now about XOrg/XOrg7. Some scripts give you the option, some expect one, some expect the other. It's Catch-22 if you dont give a d--m about which X you have but just want to build your system.

Martial, this is has *nothing* to do with the subject... XOrg7 has nothing to do with Xorg... So you stay on topic plz.

And SeveK... the forum is not for bugs... if you have a problem installing XOrg create a bug report on our bugtracker

OK, so you say it is unrelated.

I'll buy that, but in any case, I can't get XOrg7 to install on a fresh and ("lunar updated") installation of Lunar from the ISO with i386 and Linux 2.4. Old Pentium 2 laptop. There is NOTHING on the system but updated material from the ISO. "lin XOrg7" results in "Warning: BUILD does not call prepare_install or installs zero files!"

I would appreciate some help with that, isn't this the place to ask for it?

By the way and somewhat unrelatedly, I don't think "vim" should be on the ISO since it depends on X and someone should be able to "lunar update" from a fresh install without having to install X first or to worry whether packages on the ISO depend on uninstalled software. Vi should be enough for the ISO, it seems to me.

Martial... The error you are giving me is one i expected. Lunar is reporting you an error because XOrg7 does not install files. Which is true. XOrg7 is just a profile which will pull a bunch of dependencies (lvu DEPENDS XOrg7) . So all XOrg7 is doing is making sure you install all dependencies needed to run the new XOrg7.
To conclude, afaik, xorg7 has installed nicely and should just work.

Though i have now added a message to the profile BUILD file (lin moonbase, lvu BUILD XOrg7) to make sure ppl know what the error means...

Ah, that's very helpful! Thanks for that information. Now that I think of it, it seems that xfce4-profile gives a similar message.

exaclty, all profiles have that problem...

I have just supposed a patch on the dev-lunar mailinglist to fix this "issue" so it could soon be a thing of the past
