Hmm. Both my laptop and desktop are running 6.2 atm. I find that
whenever I do a helix-gnome update (or whatever they're calling it this
week) it breaks the fonts. The server works fine, it's just that the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs file is knackered. Typing xfs & from the command
line still works fine for me, so I'd check that first as it's probably the
same b0rken RPM they both install.
I'm running 6.2 with the following key additions: helix-gnome, perl 5.6,
new apache (with mod_perl), sudo, and the 2.4.2 kernel. I recently
installed my laptop from scratch and this took me about a day to install
(+ a day fscking around with partition magic and windows.) It Works For
Me(tm) but I'm sure there's a better way.
Later.
Mark.
