I assume by "DE", you mean Desktop Environment? If so, does that include the Desktop Manager? The default Desktop Manager is shown as being LDM, which I assume to be the LXDE Desktop Manager, as it was installed with (I believe) the LXDE interface, and had been running LXDE, until I found the GNOME Classic interface option, in the login window, and I now log in using the GNOME Classic interface, as it appears to be the closest available interface, to the GNOME2 interface.. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
