I was talking about using small window managers on A Real System, not a
floppy. Things like Gnome or KDE are bulging at the seams in 64M; I can
remember running X in 24. There's no good excuse for the bloat; I've
switched to pwm or icewm for most all of my needs. I prefer pwm with
vnc; it's small and can be COMPLETELY operated with no mouse.
As for "tinyx" for LRP, I was wondering about tinyx from the X
distribution (it works with the SVGAlib library) and also about
miniwin. Trouble is, once it runs, THEN what? I never could figure
that one out.
For example, some questions:
* Will a generic X binary run under it?
* How?
* Where's the initial terminal?
* Do you need to recompile all X binaries to use the microwin libraries?
* What libraries do you need?
* Can you run pwm? 9wm? icewm? twm? How?
Every time I scan over the MicroWin documentation and FAQs, they never
seem to answer questions like these (sigh).
It's a little frustrating to see all those screenshots and then find
that there is this Great Leap from the documentation to the display and
no docs or intros of Any Kind about how to get from here to there.
Here's a good example:
Let's say I want to run rxvt and rclock under microwin. How do you do
that?
