My installation of this package is, right now, from a tape file backup. Whenever MiNT has kernel errors, such as from running Tar, which should be rock stable, my MiNT drive is dead. I re-installed everything a few times, then found that formatting the drive, partitioning the drive, installing a file system on the drive, and restoring from a tape file backup was the only thing that would work, other than a new install. At least I thought it worked. X.app runs, and opens a little window that will not take input. Xterm runs, says it cannot find a useable font, seems to call X.app, and I get another little useless window. Are my fingers working in the wrong order, or what? How should this work? Should I re-install EasyMiNT and start over, or what? -- /"\ Jim DeClercq--jimd@panix.com--Sylvania, Ohio, USA \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | I'm a .signature virus! | X against HTML mail | Copy me into your ~/.signature| / \ and postings | to help me spread! | .
