Thank you so much to William and David for their help with
"dselect", I got everything that I needed this time. Now I have
another problem. I'm trying to get Window Maker working and I
can't figure out what this means:
/usr/X11R6/bin/WindowMaker fatal error: could not open display ""
I get that when I type "wmaker" at my prompt. I've just configured
my display, so I don't know how to save that as my WindowMaker
default display. Any suggestions?
Thanks muchly :)
You will need to use xdm or xinit to start a Windows manager. (You
don't start them directly. Here is how to use xinit:
1. Edit (as root) the file /etc/X11/window-managers. Make
/usr/bin/X11/wmaker the first entry. Here is what mine looks
like:
# This file contains a list of available window managers. The default
# Xsession file will start the first window manager that it can
# in this list.
/usr/bin/X11/wmaker
/usr/bin/X11/afterstep
/usr/bin/X11/twm
2. You can then type 'startx'. This will start WindowMaker.
PS Yes this is my first Debian install, so I'm a newbie!
I hope it won't be the last install. Welcome!
