No flames please. Just be patient with a chicken-hearted Newbie.
I downloaded, unpacked and configured fvwm-2.4.6. Before going ahead
with the install, I read the README file (fortunately). It said:
-------
Generally, you should run:
./configure # for full list of options, run: ./configure --help
make
make install # as a user with proper file system permissions
It is very important to make the last step (make install) to ensure that
FVWM works properly.
--------
Do I really run "make install" as user, or do I run it as root and set
up the file system permissions afterwards.
And - while having the attention of an fvwm guru - what other readings are
an absolute "must" before I attempt to configure and use the downloaded
program.
All (hand-holding) help will be gratefully received.
