And i finally can login with the username/password box that always crashed it before. For the curious, i'm using the navigator from the navigator-smotif-461 package (i don't need no steenkin' mail and news and wysinwyg html editor in my web browser!). wmaker from the wmaker package, xserver-svga. Anyone else have any success stories? Or failure stories? - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN8d0JL7M/9WKZLW5AQGudwP/SUe9Vfq6XjKC4d/G/1gvcOHrn8ijiq03 nBcGo0WYIKo/F3h6jJPhwXX6rK+GgH0QN15vK55070MJd+teHpD0+TJAwvH0kjVq fXfJSgvJjF5VFO+yGfa5ykFm9/iSpmO6TmVGRJqf2AN+lTmP2IAW/WYts98AVGow 6by2etDQp3g= =PmbD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
