Sorry to be against you Buchan, but as he knew there is a console program in RH, he should knew there is also one in Mdk aka XFdrake ... I could agree if he had said : i tried drakXfree and didn't found it, but here, he didn't even try to figure out. May be we should normalize definitively the Mandrake tools as drak* for example, but that's another point. Stef
