I don't mind the space (I've got about ten times more than I currently use, and the machine will hold more drives so I can add more space if needed). I don't mind the libraries because I often run gnome programs on kde, and will probably often run kde programs if I move to gnome; so I should have them anyway. And while I can only run one desktop at a time, I can certainly run multiple programs, which require multiple desktop's libraries, at the same time. There's been some good advice in this thread; I'll get back when I've actually had the time to do an install. Thanks, everyone! Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
