[en] Yes, installing a newer version of RedHat ;)
[es] S�, instalando otra versi�n m�s nueva de RedHat ;)
[en] The kernel is distributed (thanks heaven) in .tar.gz format, not
in the rpm one.
[es] El kernel es distribuido (gracias al cielo) en formato .tar.gz, y
no en .rpm

[en] The default windows manager is defined in /var/X11/bin (I'm not
sure wich is the link for defaults). You can also specify a window
manager by editing .xinitrc in the home directory of each user you
want to, adding a line like this
exec fvwm95
wich will override defaults and load the desired fvwm95
windows-look-like-killyermommawithanaxe manager.
[es] El gestor de ventanas por defecto est� definido en /var/X11/bin
(no estoy muy seguro de qu� link es el que establece el gestor por
defecto). Tambi�n puedes especificar un gestor de ventanas, editando
el fichero .xinitrc en el directorio "home" de cada usuario al que
desees especificar un gestor diferente, a�adiendo una l�nea como esta:
exec fvwm95
que se saltar� el gestor por defecto y te cargar� el fvwm95

>don't want to reinstall all the system, just only Xwindows How can I do that
>in RedHat 5.0 way?.........
[en] Just don't reinstall ;) In Slakware you can choose what or what
not, install when you type setup. Try so under your redhat.
[es] S�mplemente, no las reinstales ;) En mi slakware, al poner setup,
puedes elegir qu� o qu� no instalar cuando pones setup. As� que prueba
eso bajo redhat.
>How can I Upgrade to XFree86 3.3.2.3 in a Redhat 5.0 environment?.
[en] Just download the rpm files (the X-FREE ones) and install them
like this

# rpm -i package.rpm

[es] S�mplemente te bajas los ficheros rpm (los correspondientes a las
X-FREE) y los instalas de esta guisa:

# rpm -i paquete.rpm

>who says that Linux is different from windows 95?.... Is a joke.....
[en] And who says not ? ;)
[es] � Y qui�n dice que no ? ;)

[es] Pues eso mismo.

[en] Of course !!
