So you don't think a user should have the rights to install programs? Weird since many Linux systems are in a networked environment where you as a user can't install (nor root access). If you want to blame Michael blame me as well, I encouraged his choice while he was still wondering if it was good. That Arachne requires the executable to be installed by a root user to be able to use SVGALib is another thing entirely. Take the good program SetEdit that Dev wrote about in another mail - there's no way we ever could get the admin at school to install such a program since it isn't for X. Apparently one of us have missunderstood who the freedom that Linux offers really is for. "All are equal, except some are more equal than others" - Animal farm
