I have reformatted my h/d and downloaded 2.2.5. Upon setting up Xwindows, running startx, I have found that there is no X in /usr/X11R6/bin. Is there something I have not received that would cause this? Secondly, when attempting to run ppp as a user, I get a message something to the effect of "ppp client must be run as ID 0". I did not have that problem before and now must either login as root or su myself. Is there a work around for this? Your help is much appreciated
