Description corth 2000-02-23 15:29:51 UTC
pwd shows my home area as:

/.automount/myhost/root/users/corth

since I mount this area from machine "myhost".

When I startx, I get errors like:

/.automount/myhost/root/usr/X11R6/Xsun not found

Removing the leading "../../" in the exec statement in /etc/X11/X fixes
this problem.

fixed for final release.
