I try to look over the internet, but with no success.
So i looked on my RedHat 5.0 Cdrom and found 'Xinitrc.[version number].rpm', I
then executed the command : 'rpm -i xinitrc[etc...].rpm' But it repied that
another version was already installed and could not continue.
If a version is installed, where can i find the 'xinitrc' file? What is it for
anyway ?
Thanks for answering,
Tanguy
