Question 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.

update-flashplugin-nonfree

UPDATE-FLASHPLUGIN-NONFREE(8)				      System Manager's Manual				     UPDATE-FLASHPLUGIN-NONFREE(8)

NAME

       update-flashplugin-nonfree - program to get the newest Adobe Flash Player

SYNOPSIS

       update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
       update-flashplugin-nonfree --uninstall

DESCRIPTION

       The  program update-flashplugin-nonfree takes care of downloading last minute information from Debian about suitable versions, removing the
       installed Adobe Flash Plugin if it has been reported as insecure, or, if a newer suitable version is available, downloading a  newer  Adobe
       Flash  Player  and  its installer from the Adobe download site, run the downloaded installer to install the Adobe Flash Player on the local
       system, and then move the installed files to where they fit on a Debian system.

       A copy of the downloaded .tar.gz is saved in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree for later reuse.

       The program update-flashplugin-nonfree is used in the postinst and prerm scripts of the Debian package, but this program can  also  be  run
       manually by root.

OPTIONS

       --install
	      To  install, update or remove the Adobe Flash Player depending on downloaded last minute information from Debian about suitable ver-
	      sions.

       --uninstall
	      To remove the Adobe Flash Player.

       --verbose
	      Produce detailed information about what's happening.

       --quiet
	      Produce no informational output.
