John, let me give you an example of how aliases work for me. I use WineX to
play Windog games under Linux. Sometimes, the commands to start

neither man ln, nor info ln , even mentions it.
I've always found rm works fine. What you can't do is directly replace
one symbolic link with another.

rm -f
This example is exactly the reason I didn't offer rm -f as an
option--when in root, it does it...period. With rm the user is asked to
confirm the delete (and lists what will be deleted) before it is done.
Good place for a newbie to make sure they are getting what they asked
for.

I don't know about the symbolic link, but you should be able to find the
XFree86-VGA server on the disk. It is probably under
/mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS. Then install the VGA server. I had the same
problem with my Voodoo Banshee. Installed the VGA server, then installed
the 3DFX drivers and it

So I guess I will just use startx -- -bpp 32 to start x in 32 bit.. i edited
the config to use only 800x600 and nothing lower.
A question I have is can i setup a symbolic link to run startx --
It sounds like you are trying to install the XFree86_3Dfx-XFree86Setup rpm. It
requires the VGA16 X server to run. You can install the
XFree86-VGA16-3.3.3.1-58mdk.rpm from the install CD.
