Did the re-install, same problem again with the printers: cups doesn't install. X automatically just did fine though=:o) As to the lilo-appends: I never got that far. I just tried to get the Nvidia-kernel to install after rebuilding it from source. It seemed to install all right (after a download install-orgy of unsatisfied dependencies) same as the rebuilt GLX rpm and that was the end of it. When trying startx the screen goes black and everything hangs including keyboard. So a hard reboot is called for with a lot of horrible consequences. Maybe I'll feel brave again after a few drinks and try a second time=:o) I did save all the downloads. Good Luck, HarM
