Not true. As others pointed out, the X libs make it possible to run the app on the LSB compliant system but served by an X server on another machine. And that other machine doesn't even have to be LSB compliant for it to work. ;) I suppose one could make the case that, if the ISV doesn't want to piss off its customers, it should put something on the package like: "Runs on any LSB compliant system. Requires XFree86 or an X server to use the GUI interface." (Or something less geeky.) -Nick > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
