THANKS!!!

I was careful to hang up before rebooting, and /dev/ttyS1 remained 
writable by user and I could dial (after inserting the modules as root - 
but I could put them in rc instead).  I wasted hours on this problem.

inittab by default has

tty1::askfirst:-/bin/sh

I changed it to :
tty1::respawn:-/bin/sh -sc startx (with the -) to match and it worked.

What does the -sc do?

If I exit (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) it leaves me in console mode.  I thought 
respawn was supposed to startx again.  I prefer it this way.

My 77MB of linux includes Opera 8.52 and 9.21  Only 61MB without Opera 9.

I changed the menu from # to F3 and Alt-F3 now switches desktops. It did 
not work with Alt-Shift-3 or Alt-# (# in the keybindings).  Is this a bug 
in the source code (due to someone aiming at F3 and missing?) and if so 
could you fix the jwm menu?
