--------------5AE516BD385EF76A72C9F811 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi guys and girls I recently downloaded the latest version of WindowMaker. I used the install script, (which runs ./configure etc) and it appeared to install properly. I then ran the wmaker.inst script, to set up myself to use it. I also followed the instructions at the end of the install script that said to change the path ( /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit , isn't it) , and add a line to /etc/ld.so.conf . Startx, and it loads up the same crappy window manager that Red Hat has always had. I can't seem to switch to WindowMaker. I have KDE installed, but I delete the .xclients file to stop KDE loading. I must have missed something... -- The pie certainly was funny, but a brick would have been better. Remove "meup" from my address to reply. --------------5AE516BD385EF76A72C9F811 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> Hi guys and girls <P>I recently downloaded the latest version of WindowMaker. <BR>I used the install script, (which runs ./configure etc) and it appeared to install properly. <BR>I then ran the wmaker.inst script, to set up myself to use it. <BR>I also followed the instructions at the end of the install script that said to change the path ( /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit , isn't it) , and add a line to /etc/ld.so.conf . <BR>Startx, and it loads up the same crappy window manager that Red Hat has always had.
