fvwm won't start.
I have X all nicely set up now, but fvwm won't run. I have both fvwm and fvwm2 installed (fvwm version 1.24r-24) and when I try to start fvwm (and several other graphical programs) I get the message fvwm: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4' I am running X 3.2, and have several 'libX**.so.6' files in /usr/X11R6/lib, but not that one. Any suggestions? By the way, this group (both in response to my questions and in the archives) is largely responsible for my getting linux up and running. Thanks.

NTFS Filesystems
Can Linux read NTFS filesystems? I looked at the partitions using fdisk and it read the NTFS filesystem as OS/2 HPFS, but when I tried to mount it calling it HPFS it didn't work. Is there any way to do this?

Re: NTFS Filesystems
Can Linux read NTFS filesystems? I looked at the partitions using fdisk and it read the NTFS filesystem as OS/2 HPFS, but when I tried to mount it calling it HPFS it didn't work. Is there any way to do this? I don't believe linux can mount NTFS filesystems. But, did you make sure the hpfs is compiled into your kernel? I did check that. My basic problem is I have some stuff on my NTFS disk that I need to get over to another HD which has my linux swap and root partitions. Is there a fips.exe type utility that would work on a linux patition? That way I could shrink that partition a bit and make a FAT partition which could be mounted.

Newbie question -- Installing with Adaptec 2940
I'm trying to install debian 1.1 from the Infomagic CD set, and using the boot1440.bin image for the boot disk I can't get it to recognize my 2940 SCSI adapter. I have a hard disk and a Jaz drive on the SCSI card, and an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM. I found the directory of patches for the adaptec cards, but don't know how to use them. I also found the special kernels on the ftp site but couldn't figure out which one if any would work. Finally, I tried a variety of 'boot:' parameters with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction? I realize this is an old question but I've been working at it for a while with no success.
