Hi all,
Having downloaded a version of XFree86, I see a difference between a
previous version and this one:
- When installing de XFree86 option only, no fonts are installed. I had
to install (= copy) font files from a previous version and that worked.
Am I missing something?
You need the XFree86-fnts package at a minimum. I am surprised that
this was not automatically selected. Are you sure that you selected
XFree86-base? That package lists XFree86-fnts as a dependency, so it
should have been automatically selected.
- Also, some useful .bat files of which startxwin.bat is one, are
missing from the current installation. Even when installing the complete
package wouldn't help. Why was that?
You have to pick the XFree86-startup-scripts package.
Hope that helps.
Harold
