I've changed this because it did not work for first time installations. Since xorg 6.8.0 the font-update script is run in the postinstall scripts to generate fonts.dir, fonts.scale and fonts.encoding and it used to work with textmounts too (at least i thought). The new -bin package includes a mkfontscale which will always create binary fonts.scale and fonts.dir files which should work properly regardless of textmode or binmode mounts. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
