If you're looking to make XFCE your default window manager, simply run "xfce_setup" as that user, and it should work.

If xscreensaver is installed, it'll work. There's nothing wrong with installing rpms with --nodeps, as long as you KNOW that whatever deps it has are satisfied (as rpm only knows about things installed via rpm, it will not know about things installed from tarball). I don't know anything about the --tarbuild feature of rpm, but I believe it requires a specfile and a bunch of other hoo-hah to get it to work properly. If you're concerned about maintaining the rpm database so that it knows about your xscreensaver, it might be easier for you to use a program called checkinstall to build an rpm for you. Check it out at http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ I've only used it a few times, myself, but it seems to work as advertised.

[root@RSivernell xfce]# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/OpenLinux/RPMS/i386/xfce-3.8.14c-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: xscreensaver is needed by xfce-3.8.14c-1 [root@RSivernell xfce]# used the following [root@RSivernell xfce]# rpm --tarbuild xscreensaver-4.00.tar rpm: --tarbuild (-t) requires one of a,b,i,c,p,l as its sole argument rpm will install with --nodeps does xscreen server need xml gle glut to be used cheers Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caldera Open Linux eWorkStation 3.1 Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Its very easy: rpm --rebuild xfce-whateversrc.rpm If all goes well, you'll have an RPM in /usr/src/OpenLinux/RPMS = Lonni J.

Can you elaborate on what you mean? Are you saying that you can't type anything in a terminal window? Did you build XFCE from the tarball or SRPM? If it was the tarball, perhaps you didn't choose the right configure options? I always go with the SRPM, that way I know i'm getting the right options. = Lonni J.
