Thanks David but I've got an RPM (AfterStep-1.0-3.i386.rpm) which I then ran as root rpm -ivh [filename] & everything there went fine - no errors. Then checking it using glint it seems fine!! I think my problem lies in getting my system files to point to Afterstep. I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what :-( In the 7 mths. using Linux I've never tried to change my wm - I suppose I could always get RedHat 5.0 But I need to learn to do this & I'm sick of the Win95 look :-)) PS I have an EVERYTHING install of Redhat 4.2 from the Powertools CD (wastes a lot of space but then I know I've got make etc. on my system - big grin)
