You should already have zephyr and mh and things on your system, in
/usr/athena/bin and /bin/athena, like on an Athena workstation.

If you have X set up, you can log in with xlogin by running (as root):

	/usr/athena/etc/dm /etc/athena/login/config ttyv6

There is a line in /etc/ttys that will do this for you on startup, and
each time dm exits; you'll need to turn it on (change "off" to "on")
and "kill -HUP 1" to start it going, since it's not enabled by default.
