I still can't get FVWM to work. It fails just after the Xserver starts up.
Something got stepped on while attempting to install another package. I
thought I could fix it by restoring the entire "/*" archive from another
working BSD system, but it didn't. Something always slips through to prevent
FVWM from working. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to duplicate an
existing system on top of another system with a tar'd archive? I tar'd the
'good' system using => 'tar cvM /dev/rst0 /*' while cd'd to '/'. I then
restored to the 'broken' system using 'tar --unlink -xvM' while cd'd to '/'.
Is there something I'm not capturing from the good system using this syntax?
I've even done a complete reinstallation of all the X11 files plus FVWM to no
avail. I should add that TWM works fine.

Help please,
Ola
