Why not just use more than the standard 6 virtual consoles? That would be _much_ more memory efficient than X 4.1.0. Also, 75 & 100MHz Pentia are significantly faster than a 386/33, and that must count for something, even if the swap files _are_ getting seriously excersied. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "I have created a government of whirled peas..." | | Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12-May-2002, CNN, Larry King Live | +------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
