    I've installed BasicLinux to my old laptop's hd (ThinkPad 365X, 
72mb RAM, 133mhz) and have managed to get X Windows going as well.  I've 
had a few problems along the way, but nothing too bad.  :)  My latest 
project is an attempt to get KDE running, but I've reached something of 
a stand still.  KDE looks nice but nothing works...  None of the 
buttons, icons or menus do anything at all when clicked on...
    Let me back up a little.  When I first installed KDE, I edited 
.xinitrc with "startkde".  The error that I get is: /root/.xinitrc: 
startkde: command not found.  And then X shuts down.  I saw somewhere 
that I should have used "exec startkde", but the results were much the 
same.  I finally tracked down startkde at /opt/kde/bin/startkde.  I 
edited .xinitrc with /opt/kde/bin/startkde and KDE started just fine, 
with the exception of nothing working.  If I want to use something, I 
have to go to /opt/kde/bin and click on the file/program I want.  I 
could go and point every icon and button toward it's program in 
/opt/kde/bin but that seems like more work than is necessary...
    Has any one else had this problem with KDE and BasicLinux or is it 
just me?  Do I have to move KDE somewhere else, or am I just missing 
something?  All help will be appreciated greatly.
