that will delete almost everything! isn't it? I have unmerged cfree only now (and midnight commander didn't work anymore.. ;-/) and now it is rebuilding xfree. If that does not help, I will try it your way :-) > # rm -r /usr/X11R6 /usr/kde <wherever gnome is> Why?

Kde and gnome worked, until I upgraded xfree. I got an error but the 2nd time it emerged ok. Except that I got segmentation faults whe starting kde or gnome, so I think xfree is to blame for that. I will let you know how it goes Thanks for your reply and also mooktaking and Peter. --Kees -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
