I got curios so I installed the pekwm 0.1.3-2 rpm. Then I unchecked "Launch the grafical enviroment when your system starts" in MDK controll centra - Boot-Autologin. Restarted the computer It started up in runlevel 3 logged in as a user Tryed to start Pekwm whith the command $pekwm Got the message "Can not open display. Your DISPLAY Variable currently is set usename @computername username $" What did I do wrong? � � � � � � � � /Pedro
