You probably already have X installed, just not configured right. Try
running 'Xconfigurator' (which does usually take some trial and error I'm

The root level is the first window you open, probably the one with your
System Folder in it. I don't know what command you're actually running, but
you can use the same commands (cd, ls, etc) on a mounted partition that you
can in your "normal" ones, so poke around if you're lost.
