> 1. My Xwindows doesn't seem as colorful as my Windows NT. I selected the right X Server (S3 Virge) during installation. Is it possible that the Xserver is not using the full capability of my graphics card, which can display up to approximately one billion colors. Where can I change the setting for color for X? Is it in .xinitrc? in .xserverrc, add -bpp 16 to get 16-bit. By default, you're running 256 colors. > 2. I have a 3.8 Gig harddrive and all of that was in one big partition for my Windows NT before I installed FreeBSD. Then I created a new slice of ~1.6 Gig for FreeBSD partitions (the /, /usr, /tmp, etc). Now I kind of changed my mind and want to have a smaller slice devoted to FreeBSD. But even though I can create a smaller slice for FreeBSD, there will be a third slice left. How do I "add" that third slice to my Win NT's FAT partition? I know that FreeBSD installation comes with an utility to slice up a partition without destroying data, but can it do the reverse - add an empty slice back to a partion? Or do I need a software like Partition Magic to do it? Well, you'll have to move your FreeBSD partition to the end of disk, than try to resize your NT partition. But I don't know how to move existing FreeBSD partition. > 3. I just installed lesstif. Is lesstif just a Motif-compatible library, or is it also a window manager? If it is a window manager, how do I use it for my X? It's _only_ a library. Alex.
