xterm in Xprogs
« on: October 10, 2011, 08:07:24 AM »
that I ask is just a curiosity, why xterm is a symbolic link to aterm?
I ask because I tried to understand why yeahconsole not work, and then I realized this, is a merely question of space?

It's standard practise when xterm is not installed; apps call xterm when they need a "generic terminal".

If you install xterm, it will take preference in PATH.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
