Dear friends. I have installed FreeBSD up and running. When I want to start the X-server with startx, I get the message: Can't find startx. Going into the subdirectory /usr/X11R6/bin and typing: ./startx the machine answeres: Can't find xinit. I have configured the Xserver with xf86config through /stand/sysinstall. I have set the path in /etc/profile through: # echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin' >>/etc/profile. But what's wondering me is that within /etc/profile there is nothing written exept some # marked out command- and explanation lines. I also checked out the symlink of /usr/X11R6/bin/X which pointed to the appropriate S3 Xserver. I also had xdm running. I can tell you, I really tried hard for at least two weaks. I have bought two books which couldn't resolve the problem. 1st question: What about not finding the startx file? 2nd question: Where and how to configure the shell (path etc.)? 3rd question: I need a really good book about freeBSD/and X configuration and system-maintenance. I thank you very much, also for answering my former question. Michael Deliga, Munich << mdeliga@metronet.de >>
