Hi,
First, you have to keep a copy to the list, well you have to:
make
make install
then you have to create a file named .xinitrc in your home directory, and
write the line fvwm95 in it, then you have to copy the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95/system.fvwm95rc file to your home directory and
name it .fvwm95rc, in order to make all the configurations to this file.
type startx (previouslly configured Xwindows), and you are done.
