Hi
Im Phillip Neumann and a new user of (debian) Linux too. I find this
system MUCH more interesting that Microsoft
dos or win95. But i have many programs in Win95 that i use every day, so
now i have 2 OP in my computer. They
both work perfectly well (thank to linux [lilo]). I´m doing linux about
2 or 3 days, and now im a little boried, because
I´ve only the rescue, driver and base diskettes. So i cant do
interesting thinks with linux. The first interesing thing i
wanna do, is "changing" my shell to a graphic one. I heared about
Xfree86, so i download it and try to install it
(Xfree86 3.3.2). I read the installing readme files but i cant install
it !!! (yesterday i finish tring at 6:00 am!!!). At this
moment I´ve done the following things:
1) Download files (11)
2) Copy them to /var/tmp
3) at /usr/X11R6 i put:"sh /var/tmp/preinst.sh" (it sais: file: command
not found. You appear to have an a.out system. a.out binaries are not
available
for this release)
4) ungzip files ==> gzip -d < /var/tmp/x332XXXX.tgz | tar vxf -
5) running postinstall = > sh /var/tmp/postinst.sh (it do some question,
i rerspond all yes) [last thing is: running ldconfig and
then prompt]
6) put /usr/X11R6 in my path (editing /etc/profile)
7) adding /usr/X11R6 to /etc/ls.so.conf
8) putting /sbin/lsconfig as root [prompt inmidiatly]
Im desperade trying to use graphics in Linux. I know the difference
between dos and linux bourn shell. Now i want to
compare windows 95 with X Windows.
Sorry for my enlish and Thanks
