hi. =)

i have a problem using kde1.0. i can't automatically start it using

'startkde'. according to the faq3.html i downloaded from kde.org, i should

edit the files '.Xsession' or '.xinitrc'. but the problem is i cannot find

those files in '/root'. and i only have 1 enabled user and that is root. i

changed the 'xinitrc' file *suppose to be the generic xinitrc* in

'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit'. i commented the lines after the line 'start some

nice programs' and added 'startkde'. but it is still loading fvwm2.  i've

added the original 'xinitrc' file localed in '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit'. i'm

a newbie with linux. and i don't really know what to do.

THANK IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR HELP. =)
