What am I doing wrong? Hi Ralph, I did this the other day. It seems X is preloaded with a wm (WindowManager) that is called twm. You have to install fvwm or fvwm95 to get it to work. I installed AfterStep and that was easy. From a console-prompt type (as root): /stand/sysinstall then choose Configure etc The /cdrom should NOT be mounted. If I mount /cdrom first, I'll get an error that the CD couldn't be found! This is of course if You've got the CD-ROM. Otherwise You have to choose another source in /stand/sysinstall like some ftp or so.... Good Luck!
