Gents,

Seems I am having a small problem getting the X server to start using
startx or xinit.

Whenever I invoke X using either of the two I get the following error:

X: 250: Syntax Error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

If I run just ./X it starts fine but I have no config files etc.

Also, in the book it states that there should be a /book directory on
the first CD (which there isnt) where would I find that directory?

Thanks for the help,

JS

PS: If anyone has any problems configuring Kernel PPP let me know...I
spent most of the night getting it to work.
