Create a file called
.xinitrc
in your home directory. In that file, just write the GUI (ie. gnome or kde2
or fvwm) you want to use when you run startx.
That should work.

That's how I've been doing mine. The biggest troubleshooting problem I
had, by the way, is figuring out the path. The "functions" script
located in /etc/rc.d/init.d is where the $PATH is determined at startup
time.
For example, some of my installs placed the binary files in
/usr/local/sbin. We
if i may, i'd like to refer you to an email i just sent out a few hours
ago:
just a side note, i rebuild so many src.rpm's that i made a nice little
script that i issue to rebuild src.rpm's. i just thought i'd share that
little shortcut with you.
pico /usr/local/bin/rpmrb
#!/bin/sh
rpm --rebui
Without having used either, my troubleshooting would include checking
the dot files (i.e. those files starting with a ".") in each $HOME
directory. That might give you a clue as to how to start it
automatically.

A possible solution, if you have the resources, is to use a linux box
to mount the netware FS, and tar it, placing the tar'd file on an ext2

If that works (or seems to), make sure you can untar it.

There's no easy way to it that I know of. You just have to look at the

It seems that just making up a file with only the three lines or so that you

Well, you could boot, full time, from floppy.
However, my suggestion was to boot from floppy, edit your lilo.conf
file to point at the right spots on your hard drives, and then run
lilo.

You would install LILO into MBR and it would detect your windows partition

You will prolly need to boot up with floppy just this ONCE, edit

The problem is that Windows will only boot from a primary partition on
the first hard drive. Windows does not play well with other OSs - it
expectes to be the only OS on the drive. You can try the modifications
I made to your lilo.conf. I have not tried them with Windows 95/98, but

Just set your windows HD as master, linux on your slave, and LILO will boot
both.

The quick and easy answer is to make your Windows HD the master, and
your linux HD as the slave...boot from a boot disk, at that point,
edit your lilo.conf file, run "lilo" and try again.
