I made it like that because I wanted to separate different kinds of
information.

If you want to read as little as possible, read the 'quick start'!
If you want more detailed help, read README!
If you want a background description, read the 'description'!

It can be changed, if we want it in a different way. These documents
should also be updated to include all improvements to the OBI by Israel.

I have some super simple png files for all common monitor proportions. I
suggest that we use them until the new version of jwm can be used.

I didn't notice that. The OBI should not need it (except when it grabs
tarballs from phillw.net). So it should not be necessary here.

:-)

It does not reboot automatically. But when I tell it to reboot, it
reboots. Maybe I don't understand what you mean.

Yes, I made it like that, but Israel changed it. It is easy to change
back. There are nice fonts available in xterm, for example with the
following command line options

xterm -fa default -fs 13

What size (number after -fs) would you prefer?
