Yes, "startx: command not found"

>2) does /usr/X11R6/bin/ contain "startx", "xinit", "X", and "Xmac68k"?

Ahh... No "X" or "Xmac68k". The others are there. This is odd, all I did
was install the packages through the MacOS installer. Incidentally, when I
change xfs and xdm to yes in rc.conf, x starts with its login panel.
However I cannot log in. Also, the reboot comand only works under
single-user (otherwise I'm still rooting around, not to the point I need
another login yet).

>3) does "echo $path" show /usr/X11R6/bin in your path

No- which is odd since it's in /.cshrc correctly. What's weird is that
_only_ /bin and /usr/bin _do_ show up, when much more than that is listed
in .cshrc.

>4) can you do a "cd /usr/X11R6/bin; ./startx", and does that work?

Nope- says "xinit:not found" Which makse sense I think since /usr/X11R6/bin
supposedly isn't in my path.

Am I way off? I think I'm going to hold off, reformat and install with
1.3.2 (everything I have right now is new anyway, I took the packages off
of my MacOS hard drive, where they've been hiding since I tried this with
my IIci. (these worked, though, with it)

Any ideas, though, are welcome.
