Hello all, I am a new Linux user. I have Red Hat 5.2, which I believe it
came with Afterstep 1.5. That is what says in the installation book.
Well, anyway, I was at LINUXBERG.com and they had an update RPM for
Afterstep. 1.6.10-1, I downloaded the i386 rpm.
I then used glint and selected the package then I hit update. Everything
worked fine there, but then I noticed I could not exit out of Afterstep
thru conventional means, So I used the "close this session" menu
item..that worked.
I rebooted, then typed startx. fvwm95 started . Confused I started glint
and went to see where the files went.
I read the README files, and found out , I was supposed to delete every
piece of the old Afterstep before installing the new one.
oops, well, so I went back got rif of Aferstep 1.5 Apps, and Afterstep
1.5. I then went back to my Afterstep 1.6.10-1 and this time I used the
install feature instead of the update feature.
Well now when you type startx, it ALMOST looks as if it is going to
work.
The grey screen starts with a the black X in the center, then just as
Afterstep should start, it quits and goes back to the console screen.
Where there is a little note that says
>>afterstep command not found<<
I then typed
pico .xinitrc
where all that is in there is
afterstep
, so I have changed that with FVWM , so I can use the net, but where is
this command file, so I can make Afterstep work, or what should I do now
to get it to work.
I appreciate all the knowledge and wisdom I can get
Thanks
Will
