Re: FVWM: Red Hat 5.1 Config

Hi,

On my RH5.0 system I can edit (as root) a file called system.fvwm2rc

(do a "locate system.fvwm2rc" to fond it).

Then change the appropriate line and restart.

If you're not root than first copy system.fvwm2rc to ~/.fvwm2rc and then

restart.

BTW, does RH5.1 ship with fvwm(1) as well as fvwm2 or not? At least in fvwm(1)

it should work.

Best regards,

Neil
