i put debian 1.3.1 "bo" on my 386 recently, and i'm trying to find a good X11 window manager. i am using FVWM, but i don't like it. anything better and just as lightweight??
I don't really know why you are complaining about fvwm. Just fire up a terminal window and load everything by hand! That's what I always seem to do with fvwm2. Most of the prefab icons are all obsolete these days.
Here, repeat after me:
/usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox.sh&
konqueror&
gnome-terminal&
nautilus&
Ack, I am clueless on the firefox question! Spaced out the fact that this is on a 386 with 4MB. Amazing actually. I am hard pressed to get modern distros to run well in 512MB. 768MB seems to work much better. I did try 256MB in a virtual machine once, I can't remember if linux even came up properly or not now.
try openbox or fluxbox. They are very lightweight and fluxbox supports window tabbing (very useful on small displays!)
