That's it. By the way, it does work on Debian (though I'm not sure if the
sysvinit script for dtlogin ever got fixed - I sent a replacement once,
and someone else mentioned the bug at one point).
The build/install process is rather convoluted, since make install
doesn't work right.

CDE was an Open Group project from about the time Novell gave them the
UNIX trademark. Inferno has the most tenuous of connections to it, being
a later Bell Labs project.

HTH,
