I just installed the Slackware package for 0.9.10 and tried running it.

I typed in fgfs and it started, but it did not ask about conditions , 
which plane or location to start from like the Windows version. ust went 
straight to the Cessna 172 cockpit at San Fran.
And There was no instrument panel, and no aircraft body structure. You 
look out of the left side and you do not see a wing, only the port side 
nav light where the wingtip would be.
Oh yea, it also has no lettering in the top menu bar or in the drop down 
menus. Moving the mouse causes the highlight, just no words.
Here's what prints when I start it.

taking off and the such.
