X windows configuration

Since my old computer have less storage,
I even do not have install the Xwindows config.
Now I cannot open xwindows even through I type 'xstart'.
How do I overcome it?

And then I only have a 100Mbyte space, what basic components should I install( I want X windows installed)?

thank you

it is startx not xstart
100mb is not much for xwindows.
You will very soon run out of space.
you might be able to mount another disk as
/usr/X11R6 may be much cheaper in the long run if you value
your time
