xfree functioning, just really slow a bit if a tweak to the cat5 alignment and was even able to take the beast online. definately need to find a lighter browser than seamonkey, or firefox, which is even more bloated on the drive and ram than seamonkey. looks like dillo will be the browser I install on this thing. same limitations as lynx, but a gtk based browser. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
