Minimal X Installation

querist asks: "What is the minimum needed to get X up and running? I have an old Thinkpad 360Cs (486, 12 MB RAM, 328 MB HD) and I'm currently running ZipSlack on it because I have no CD drive for it and no network card. I do have a floppy and a Zip drive, and potential access to a cable modem. If it matters, I'm not entirely sure of the LDC display's resolution... it's either 640x480x256max or 800x600x256max. I know it does VGA and I'm pretty sure it can do SVGA to some extent. Could someone please kindly list the minimum files i'd need to get my machine to be able to run X? I would need an X term, of course. From there I should be able to manage."
