[Benny Hult <benny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I decided to share this email with the mailing list.

Dwain, do you have Xorg at all then? Any binaries or even installed?
"dpkg -l xorg |less" tells more.

Can you pop-in to #Lubuntu @ Freenode IRC Network? (irc.ubuntu.com for 
example)

Benny - thanks for the clue.  Your guess is correct.  I know all about 
cat/less/more - but thanks for looking out for me Andrew.

However, once booted, and I find myself at the bash prompt,  there is no 
Xorg.log!  There is no Xorg. anything in /var/log.  Looking at dmesg and 
syslog give no real clues.

I have had a lot more experience with Red Hat'ish Linux, and I was just 
wondering where logs like this might be on Lubuntu.

So mystery deepens.

   Somehow I assumed that someone who is running Alpha version of
   certain OS is capable of using |more, or even |less.

   I will try to be a little more specific with commands next time.
