nope, i'm giving it up for good, i think ... the old hard drive, that
is. :(

i did on installation. but it didn't provide xserver-xfree86. that
helped a lot, thanks :)
however, it's segfaulting and refusing to do much once it gets to the
'WindowMaker' line in my ~/.xsession. ~/.xsession-errors tells me
it's because i can't create a GNUstep directory, and tells me to run
wmaker.inst:
WindowMaker warning: could not find user GNUstep directory
(/home/nori/GNUstep/Defaults)
sh: wmaker.inst: command not found
WindowMaker warning: There was an error while creating GNUstep directory, please make
sure you have installed WindowMaker correctly and run wmaker.inst
(of course i forgot to copy these files from my old hard drive when i
was making backups, as i didn't know what they were ... well, this is
how you learn, i guess!)
wmaker.inst seems to not really exist, except on some french Debian
page somewhere. what should i do to generate the GNUstep directories
and files that WindowMaker needs?
thanks again,
</nori>
