PART ONE:
well, i advise u to read all the possible docs u can find in the
distribution, look into the config files already pre-made (they're in
/usr/share/afterstep and/or in ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/) and experiment.
also visit
http://www.via.ayuda.com/~smw/afterstep/home.html
for some reading about configuring the look & feel of afterstep. also be
*sure* to try to find answers to your problems in the mailing list

PART TWO:
i think it could be a great thing if all newbies to afterstep mailing
list got a mail with FAQ. this list will be free of such common questions
of newbie redhat users then. what do u guys think?
