If Richard wants to end up in a DE, why does the way he gets there have to be DE independent?? And where does the browser come in (see subject line)? And which browser? Which browser, on which DE, makes a difference to what is the best way to get there. But I thought he didn't want a DE. So Lynx??? I routinely boot up without logging in, on everything but my netbook. And any software I want opened up immediately, is opened up immediately, before I touch the computer. I don't see what the fuss is about. So, as I have mentioned before, I don't understand. I like your summary!! Lisi
