can somebody give me some hint on how to make xfstt run during the bootup process. i've got it running ok but i still need to type "xfstt &" before i startx . . .
much obliged . . .

basicly place a script that starts it in /sbin/init.d and create symbolic links from /sbin/init.d/rc2.d and ..../rc3.d to it:
cd rc2.d ln -s S20xfstt ../startxfstt
Or, perhaps easier, just put the line xfstt & in your boot.local file.

Yes, Steve, the font server is a service (that might be accessed via the local network). I frequently see the remark "put it in boot.local". True, it works but... That's why the System V concept was created for; my first Linux version (<=1995) hat this "autoexec.bat" style with I think two files that were relevant. When you wanted to alter things you had to run through a big file and uncomment and pray for no errors. hat to remove a lot of comments to start the NFS server (and reboot). System V looks a bit more complicated in the beginning, but is much better. I use boot.local to set stuff for ISDN and set harddrive parameters. But again, this seems to be a religious issue.
