I ran elinks, the text driver, before and finally I have to coming back to gui browser. Download is not a problem to me. I ran wget on Terminal to get the job done. Without X I can tunnel via SSH to a workstation to do installation and fine tuning a server, running the latter headless. But I have to run 2 PCs doing a single job. So my final solution is to have X and a lightweight deskstop such as Xfce, winframe, etc. installed on the server but without running them at boot. After finish I can erase all of them or just leaving them there, administrating the server via a workstation. B.R. Stephen Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
