I know there are some Linux fanatics on these boards, so maybe you can help me out. I decided to make this terrible, old computer next to me 100% Linux (Win95 is a waste of time :(). Install went fine, network, sexy tux in the upper-lefthand corner on boot, ect...
However, `startx' just doesn't do anything. Not that I can see anyway.
Slackware 10.0 <2.4.26>

Any help will be appreciated. :-[
Edit:
Many other commands are doing this, besides startx.
root@Beast:~$ alsaconf
root@Beast:~$
root@Beast:~$ alsamixer
root@Beast:~$
root@Beast:~$ xorgconfig
root@Beast:~$
Only things I can think of that I did differently between this installation and the last are: changed to a custom font, and included more packages during the setup.
The fact that /usr is 100% full may have something to do with this.
/dev/hda2 1.4 G 96 M 1.2G 8% /
/dev/hda5 1.2 G 45M 1.1G 4% /home
/dev/hda6 658M 658M 0 100% /usr
Edit:
Maybe I was an idiot when I installed linux, and assigned the partitions wrong. I'm just gonna start from scratch. :-\
For a drive that site, I recommend just one partition (besides swap). Otherwise you're going to run out of space fast.
Also, be choosy about what you install. Don't install KDE or Gnome or the Kernel Source, because they're all quite big and you probably won't be able to use them anyways.
As far as X goes, I only installed windowmaker and fluxbox. :P
Me too. I have 2 account, one of WindowMaker, one is Fluxbox. I don't know which one I like better :-/
