Please do! I'd like to have a brief howto on hand in case this comes up again. *Do* you use a graphical login? If you *don't*, I'm bettin' dollars to doughnuts it'll be a lot easier to get going. I tried searching the gmane list archive [1], didn't come up with anything specific enough. I'm positive I saw this same question before, though, maybe I didn't search hard enough. If you're really serious about checking into this, I would strongly suggest joining the ROX mailing list. Not really heavy traffic, and *very* friendly and helpful people on there.
