Any help would be appreciated. > Best wishes for the holidays > John For XFree86, the links have been mended now, so it should be possible to urpmi XFree86 from the command line. If it returns a whole list of packages and drops back to the command line, try to identify which ones will be the most important. Install them by urpmi, and with any luck they will pick up the other essential ones as dependencies and install them for you. Anne I tried the vi fstab. It came up as a new file. I must have done something wrong. I also tried urpmi xfree86 incorrectly. I am lost when it comes to the command line. Will keep trying anything suggested. Sorry for the confusion on the email reply. Hope this works better. Thanks John
