I am interested if anyone has decent start-up files for olwm (.xinitrc,
Xdefaults, root menus, etc). I installed xview3 and olwm with
little difficulty [just ran out of disk space ;-) ], but I find
the default settings aren't that great. The fonts in the bash
window is too small, I can't get Xterm windows to appear,etc etc..
BTW, I installed SLS 0.98p1, it works like a charm except for 'man'.
I made a work-around with a small script file. A friend of
mine had the same problem but I have never seen it mentioned on this
news group. Anyone else have it working the way it should? (not the
way I did!) The problem lies with /usr/lib/manpath.config not existing.
If this is fixed in later versions or an FAQ, ignore me!
And for all you Trident 8900c users out there: Don't give up trying
to get X to work! I have bios 2.11, 1meg and its working great!
But it didn't work when I only had 512k (not even 800x600 mono!)
Thank Linus for Linux!
