I logged in as root and tried XFdrake. It gives me the three possibilities, both cards separately, cinerama, etc. No matter which I choose it always claims very quickly it is installing packages and then immediately quits. I tried to mount -o loop ... both the CD images, but it never manages to find its needed packages. I also tried to rpm install some XFree packages. All to no avail. Monday I'm going to burn those CDs to check it out that way. Many thanks, Jo
