I just start it. I installed KDE when I installd the os. I do everything from the book I got.(The Complet FreeBSD 4th edition) Everything was going fine until the book telling me to CREATE A FILE " .xinitrc " in my home directory. Well, How can I do that?? and why do I need it? I installed only KDE so would it work if I will only type " startx" ?? I have not try to do it yet becouse I don't want to mess up anything. Thank you for all the help advance Laszlo --lantal
