I'll check out xauth, though it seems a bit of overkill to have two X servers running, just for this little toy. It'll teach me something new, though. I changed my run level to 3 and logged in again. I see that I own a process called xinit, but top shows me that X is run by root (and takes up 15% of my memory, which is why I'll try to make this work with xauth, but just for homework. Even if it works, it's too heavy a solution for such a small thing). Anyway, even with logging in from level 3 the stuff I've been trying doesnt work. Lynx would work, I guess. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you for taking so much interest. I feel a little overwhelmed ;) Germ�n.
