Collins that problem of waiting for a directory to list (KDE) is the very reason why I dumped Elx RC1 and RC2. I found the whole distro too Microsoftish. I didn't like what they did with Webmin (in my opinion crippled it) I do not mind someone (distro) hacking their name on boot screen nor do I mind them placing their logo's in various utilities, but when they start changing the way the rest of the world packages utilities then I take exception. If they think that they can produce a better Webmin I suggest that they joint the Webmin developers group and show them how its done. I do not like the way elx hacks up the HD on install. The result makes the HD look more like what M$ would do rather than Linux. In my opinion elx looks and feels like something M$ might produce. JMHO -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B.
