Update: resolution issue in xterm fixed. Rob, on the terminal try:
xterm -font -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* if it's too small yet try: xterm -font -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Here are more font styles and a full explanation: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/10/configuring-xterm-in-linux.html This fix will be added in the next version. The next version already has automated the intro to fluxbox and provides the EXIT option to go to Bash and POWER OFF to turn off the system. The next version is ready, all I'm waiting for is the official Sage 4.0 release to build it with it. Greetings, Lucio.
