------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-09 18:52 ------- reopen (and fix it:), please, this is a false answer. xterm is needed, in all cases. * if you have problem with kde or qt or gtk, you will still have a xterminal who is working. * xterm is needed for failsave sessions. (and using another terminal (gnom-terminal, konsole) is not a solution in failsave. This should be :xterm or rxvt. * In minimal install, I get xdm installed and twm. menus from twm have an entry for xterm and no other apps. so without xterm, nothing can be made. * xterm is faster than other terminals :) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I suppose that xterm has been removed from the XFree86 package and made into a separate package. I installed from CD1 alone. I also selected "console tools" during package selection. In fact, I noticed that kdebase-konsole was selected automatically but not xterm. While the xterm rpm is present on CD1, it was not selected by default so that I ended up with an installation that had kdebase-konsole but not xterm !! The way I see it, xterm must be selected by default by the installer, more so because the window manager /usr/X11R6/bin/twm is still part of XFree86. I can imagine what will happen if I do a minimal server (with X) install and start TWM only to find that there is not a single terminal program available !!
