I would like to know if its possible to load the xterm window (tty4 in my case) in the background? At the moment, the boot procedure takes me straight into X. I would prefer keeping tty0 available as the default login terminal. The way I accomplish this is by not loading anything in /etc/rc.local and then running startx to load X when I need it, but that takes away one tty. Also, anyone know of a freeware color bitmap viewer/editor for X (bmp, gif, jpeg's etc.) And a wordprocessor (like Windows Write) and a spreadsheet (doesn't have to be for X)? I've had a look at Wine - I am very impressed. Took a long time to compile though, plus I had to reconfigure my kernel to enable options USER_LDT, but it was worth the wait.
