Can anyone pls advise on how to make Afterstep my default window manager
on my Redhat 4.2 system???
I've tried using the "Installme" script from Afterstep-1.0.tar.gz that I
downloaded -it just errors with a lot of "no such file or directory"
messages.
I've also tried an RPM version off Redhat's ftp site which when verified
seems to be fine!!
The problem I think lies in the way the window manager is specified  in
my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which I've tried to edit to point to Afterstep
with no success :-(
Maybe I also don't have all the correct files in /root or /home/david
Any ideas/advice would be greatly welcome - I'm so sick of the look of
fvwm -95

Thanks
DAVID
