Subject: [BL] Troubles with KDE


>      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.
