Hi All,

I have just inherited a project to find a use for 10 Sunray 1 thin clients.
What I want to do is allow users to use the Sunrays but only view an
Internet browser, so they can search an online catalogue. While searching
the Internet I came across FVWM2 which seems to do what I want it to,
unfortunately do a limited experience using UNIX I do not have a clue on how
to do it.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I have read most of the
documentation I can find but it is not clicking with me. I have installed
the software to / by using the ./configure, make and make install commands.
How do I assign it to a particular user e.g. user1? I have created a
executable file called start and in start is:
#!/bin/sh
xterm &
exec fvwm

when I try to run it I get the error message another WM is running, I
imagine it is the CDE.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

James
