[Alug] installing debian probs

Hullo list. I'm stuck in a loop installing this here debian...... "do you want to create /etc/X11/XF86Config file? y/n" y ......."_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 Unable to communicate with X server! The /etc/X11/XF86Config file was not created. Press [Enter] to switch to graphics mode. This may take a while... Press [Enter] to continue Pressing enter, of course, takes it back to the beginning, but there doesn't seem to be another option. Any ideas? Thanks, Jenny.
