| 162114 | 2003-07-23 02:18:00 | Hi there.. I just installed vector linux 3.2 on an old amd box (around 100mhz) with 16 mb ram. I can start X, but cant get it to load icewm. I load up x, and [within x] type icewm but it thinks its not a command, and when I switch back to the console (by ctrl-alt-f1) and enter icewm it says it cant load because it 'can't open display <none>' and 'X must be running and $DISPLAY set'. Well X is running and I don't know how to load icewm. I remember when I installed peanut linux on my (oldish) laptop I went to an x config file somewhere and set it to load whatever gui, but i've forgotten where that file would be. Any ideas? cheers |

Hopefully it will ask you if you want to run 4 instead if this is what you version has. You might like to double check that you installed icewm as well. HTH |
