Hi,

You might like to fix up your 'From:' address sometime :-)

: 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.

In the right place though?
Formatted (and gzipped) pages go into  /usr/share/man/catN
unformatted (nroff-format) pages go in /usr/share/man/manN.

: If I try to start XFree, I get the message "xf86OpenConsole: server must be set
: suid root". I'm using XFree86 3.1

Make the server suid root! :-)

(chown root /usr/X11R6/bin/X; chmod 4111 /usrX11R6/bin/X)

Phil.
