My smallest box is a 486 with 32MB ram with a 512 MB drive. Granted it can't run Etch anymore but it runs up-to-date xorg from OpenBSD. I use icewm on all my boxes. If you only want to show one window, then technically you don't need a window manager. For convenience, you could have rxvt start then run your app from that. Set window size and position with --geometry. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
