Minimal Japanese Environment

# rpm -ivh less-358-16b.ppc.rpm

to your ~/.bashrc to browse Japanese documents.

# rpm -ivh nkf-1.92-4b.ppc.rpm
 

kterm

# rpm -ivh kterm-6.2.0-20b.ppc.rpm
 

Notes:

Found that termcap entry for kterm is missing:

$ cp /usr/share/misc/termcap ~/.termcap
$ cat <kterm source dir>/termcap.kt >> ~/.termcap
 

For inputting Japanese characters, do

$ vi ~/.inputrc
set convert-meta off

TkDesk

# rpm -ivh jp-TkDesk-3a.ppc.rpm

In order to use /bin/bash as my default shell, I prepared a shell wrapper for TkDesk:

$ cat ~/bin/tkdesk
#!/bin/bash
source ~/.profile
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
export SHELL=/bin/bash
exec /usr/local/bin/tkdesk $*

and start TkDesk from ~/.xinitrc

$ cat ~/.xinitrc
......
$HOME/bin/tkdesk $* &
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2

More Tools: Xv, ncftp, tgif, ...

# rpm -ivh xv-3.10a-1c.ppc.rpm
