Xwindows
i m working on a project of making linux boot and run from a pendrive.
I have got a minimal root filesystem with busybox.
I wish to install X Server now. I downloaded the source tar balls, untarred them on the host system, used the default host.def issued commands
$make WORLDOPTS=-k World >& World.log (make World was giving error abt GL so i ignored it)
$make -k install DESTDIR=<path of pendrive>/usr
but the X command in <pendrive>/usr/X11R6/bin shows a broken link to XFree86 server.
Also could anyone help me out as to how to instal tiny X server and what shoud i include in host.def.

nsquery
nsquery(1) General Commands Manual nsquery(1)
Name
nsquery - name server query command
Syntax
/usr/ucb/nsquery [ lookup ] [ host ] [ server ]
Description
The command provides an interface to obtain host name and address information.
If you specify host, the command obtains information about the specified host. If no host is specified, the command obtains information
about the local host system.
If you specify server, the command queries the BIND server that you specify. If you do not specify a server, the command queries the
default BIND server.
Options
lookup Retrieves the host name, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and aliases of the specified host. If no host or server is specified, the
command obtains information about the local system from the default BIND server.
If you do specify the lookup option, the command obtains the information about the BIND server and host specified (or their
defaults). If the system from which you issue the command is a BIND server, and you do not specify the lookup option, information
about only that server is retrieved.
Files
