You can compile and use Afterstep 1.4 with FreeBSD except the
applications which come with it. In fact, those applications
are completely optional.

Follow those rules :

	- fetch Afterstep 1.4 on ftp.afterstep.org
	- extract the archive
	- cd to the Afterstep directory
	- ./configure ; xmkmf; make Makefiles
	- Edit the top Makefile and remove all the applications
	("apps/...") from the "ALLSUBDIRS" section.
	- make
	- su root -c "make install ; make install.man"
	- cp -R ./GNUstep ~/
	- edit your ~/.xinitrc to run afterstep
	- go for a new exciting look :)

Hope this helps. Stephane Legrand.
