 Afterstep/Suse 9.2 how to install?? A newbie asks
Writing 'Afterstep' in the yast/install_software/search field only gives this astools thingie, which I did install, but when I want to start a window manager, my choices are only KDE, Gnome, Windowmaker and a couple of others but not Afterstep.
Sorry if my question was a pain in the @ss and wasting your time, but I really thought that not having an RPM to double click I was in for a dependency hell quality-time if I did not ask for advice first.
I will also have a look at the manuals of these packages 'pin' and 'checkinstall' to be able to use them; they seem to be useful once you know how to use them.
