Thanks for the tip. Strace is a very nice tool. Ran it, and found I don't have
"/etc/ls.so.preload". Didn't know where to go from there, so downloaded
XFree86.4.0. Almost got that running, after resolving some link problems. Does
anyone know why Storm has /usr/include/linux/version.h = version 13, and
/usr/src/kernel-header-2.2.14/include/linux/version.h = 14???
strace is great, helped me find the chatscript on a Mandrake installation.
Thanks, again.
