- You just need one file from disk #15: mwm[something].taz. download
- this file from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/SLS/15/mwm...taz, rename it
- to mwm...tar.Z on your linux disk, uncompress and untar from the root
- directory, create the directory /usr/lib/shared, within that directory
- make a symbolic link from /usr/lib/X11 to /usr/lib/shared/X11, change
- your "exec [t | olv]wm" line to "exec gwm -qf mwm" in your .xinitrc
- file, and you are ready to run gwm.
-
- On a similar note, could someone point the way to a postscript viewer
- for x windows or linux? I downloaded the postscript docs to gwm, but
- have no way of printing them. I would like to at least read them
- online so I can learn how to customize gwm/mwm to my own tastes (getting
- rid of the "lock to grid" positioning of icons, changing the menus, etc.)
-
- Thanks!
