Copy /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config.old and then run xbase-configure. It would be a good idea to have the XF86_VGA16 server installed and the entry in /etc/X11/Xserver should declare it the server. (You can change this back to the actual server after the configuration is complete. The xbase-configure dialog box doesn't run with all servers. It does run with the vga-16 server. > > As well how can I integrate all X-programms and games on the X-screen? > There is currently just the desktop and a shell for input. > This is a minimal window manager (twm?) of which there are many choices.

You will need to download the tar.gz file from Netscape and place it in /tmp so the installer can find it.
