can someone point me out to a good newbie tutorial for afterstep? i've stumbled upon one on the afterstep site, but that tutorial is somewhta lacking.
i need to know what configuration files are needed and where they are to be put, etc.
I have found a plethora of sites for afterstep at www.google.com.
Try that! 
that was the second thing I did... 
i have found many sites as well... however none of them particularly good. i need something that gives you the total basics.
especially, where to put what file.
