------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-12-09 01:05 ------- *lol* sorry, warly, but to say that xterm is not installed because a user "may not have asked for it" is quite courageos. It would be the same as if you said that "ls" is not installed because the user "may not have asked for it". xterm = fundamental, IMHO. You provide "xclock" with XFree, so drop this instead of xterm ... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: 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 !!
