The first one is easy: how do I comment out the lines I placed in ~/.xinitrc to get Gnome to start automatically? Occasionally, I would like to run Matlab without running gnome.
The second one's a bit harder: is there any way to load X and gnome without running Apple's Aqua interface? This is another thing I would like to do occasionally. I have read a bit online (Sao's place and other forums, such as macosxhints), but with little luck. So far, I know I need to:
a. place an appropriate keymap in system/library/keyboard layouts
b. login as >console (this often does not work at all and the screen hangs--anyone know why?)
c. run X
This is where I get stuck. Running 'startx' hangs the screen and running exec 'startx -- -iokit' restarts Apple's window manager and sends me back to their login screen. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
Thank you,

try typing the following command before you start in a window.
source /sw/bin/init.sh
A "program" tends not to run/execute unless its in your PATH ( /sw/bin needs to be in the list), unless you put a directory spec.
Your working directory is usually not in your PATH for security reasons. So "cd" to /sw/bin" doesn't help. The above command should fix your PATH.
If you want to execute something in your working directory type ./apt-get as an example.
BTW.
I put the following in my ~/.xinitrc file to start Gnome automatically when start X11.
#!/bin/sh quartz-wm --only-proxy & source /sw/bin/init.sh exec /sw/bin/gnome-session exec sawfish &

Hi,
I recently installed fink and the gnome packages. I dowloaded all the the binaries using the graphical installer, and now, I'm not sure what to do. I went into fink's sw/bin folder and tried running apt-get (it shows up when I type 'ls') but got a 'command not found' error. I also tried running 'gdm', but got a similar error. Anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Thanks,
