Something happened to X, and I can't figure out what. The symptom is that
startx and xinit both fail, complaining that they can't find X in my
path. But X is in my path, and I can run it by itself, launching a window
manager from a VC.
I got to this state by upgrading a 3.0.4 system by adding a few packages
from 4.0. (I wanted to try fvwm95, so I added the fvwm95* packages and
the XFree* packages they depended on.)
Any clues?
(I haven't been successful doing a full upgrade to 4.0. With a harddisk
install, both the original and update boot/supp reboot my system,
something that never happened with the beta I installed from. The machine
is a CDROM-less laptop, so CDROM is out. I've never gotten any boot disk
to recognize my PC card Megahertz combo card as an ethernet connection --
but maybe I'm doing something wrong, it's not exactly obvious how pcmcia
ethernet is supposed to work during the install. If I couldn't have used
ftp with this card under Windows 95, there never would have been Linux on
this box at all.)
Clues appreciated, details available on request. Machine is a Toshiba 110CS.
