if you don't wanna futz around much, i'd recommend you stick with some of the plug and play WMs or GIs (e.g., KDE). to run fvwm2 you wanna check out: http://www.fvwm.org/ read FAQ and README's in spare time i guess they don't come as RPMs, so you'd want to do a tar-ball install if you want the latest version. don't forget to remove the rpm versions! i'd hate to contemplate what might happen otherwise. grab system.fvwm2rc from $FVWMHOME/sample.fvwmrc/. and drop it into your home directory as .fvwm2rc. fvwm2 don't work without that in your home directory. start reading the man pages. http://www.geocities.com/bluesmani/ is one of many themes links 1. modify /etc/inttab to bring your system up in level 3 rather than level 5: #id:5:initdefault: id:3:initdefault: that will then boot you up WMless.s 2. then create a $HOME/.xinitrc, if you don't already have one, and do something like: #!/bin/csh -f #exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 exec fvwm2 -cmd "FvwmM4 -m4-prefix $HOME/.fvwm2rc" i started with the simple and moved to more complex to fit my needs. 3. type startx from your level3 command prompt and you are one your way to becoming another of the millions of satisfied fvwm2 users! if this sounds like a royal PIA. it is. don't go here unless, like me, you just can't be satisfied with GNOME or KDE. --fred _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
