See the man page. In fact, 'd' works in elm, and pine, and probably a bunch of others. > Help!

I'm probably not much help here. But you must give questions more information than this. What type of card is it? Are you using the GENERIC kernel or have you built your own? If using your own, did you include the device for that ethernet card? > Help!! I downloaded, for XFree, all the binaries, and the SVGA and VGA > servers, and the english fonts...

Startx seems to come up with error messages and > Initx doesn't register as a program. startx is how you'd generally start it, if you don't run xdm. If you gave us the error messages, maybe we could help. > HELP!! Is it possible for me to have more than 3 TTYs on my computer > (the default)?? Yep, pretty easy.
