My problem is that the system seems to be slowly corrupting. If I type "man ls" the screen clears and the prompt goes to the top left corner of the screen. But nothing is displayed. man 3 curses, gives the same result. All of the manual pages and directories are in place. If I try to start XFree, I get the message "xf86OpenConsole: server must be set suid root". I'm using XFree86 3.1 I've re-installed the system several times but always with the same results. Can someone please help. Thanks in advance Ian Wynne ianw@ee.su.oz.au. ================================================================================
