Umm, well I am at the point where I am using Dselect to install all the crap I want, including X and stuff... but it gets so far, then complains about depending and needing packages which are not available. I can't remember which ones they were off the top of my head. I am at work and can't check, but it seemed to me X wasn't finished enuf, and vital packages weren't available to make X work. So I haven't even installed X at this stage.

No problem. I have not tried the latest version which supposely fixes compressed fonts inconvenience. You needed to start xfs (X fonts server) to work around it. I also noticed that I had to change the permission on /etc/fb0 to allow regular users to start X. I do not know if it is a glitch from my side. The system is a SS1+ with CG3 graphics. --ward -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
