Now that you have installed xdm, run "shadowconfig off; shadowconfig on". It'll get better. Sorry! Fixed in 1.3.1 .
Try "rxvt". It's not xterm, but it's smaller, cleaner, has less overhead, and the color works. Someone else can tell you where to find color-xterm, I'm not an X guru. Of course you put the netscape archive in /usr/tmp first, right? It was a little balky for me too, but I finally got it to install using dpkg from the command line. While you have time, look up. There's a Debian system over your head on the space shuttle! Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] 510-215-3502 Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.
