I fully agree with comment #2 . Its ironic that twm is installed by default
with XFree86 but xterm is not even selected for installation. Frankly, If
XFree86 is installed, its xterm that is more useful than any window manager
since xterm can work with or without _any_ window manager and it gets the job
done.

description:
I suppose that xterm has been removed from the XFree86 package and made into a
separate package. I installed from CD1 alone. I also selected "console tools"
during package selection. In fact, I noticed that kdebase-konsole was selected
automatically but not xterm. While the xterm rpm is present on CD1, it was not
selected by default so that I ended up with an installation that had
kdebase-konsole but not xterm !!
The way I see it, xterm must be selected by default by the installer, more so
because the window manager /usr/X11R6/bin/twm is still part of XFree86. I can
imagine what will happen if I do a minimal server (with X) install and start
TWM only to find that there is not a single terminal program available !!
