Your original question made perfect sense, I just can't read! ;) Anyway, to temporarily shut XDM down you can simply Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a console. Then log in as root and do /etc/init.d/xdm stop and install away. When you're done you can either reboot or /etc/init.d/xdm start Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
