Why not boot into runlevel 3 on a permanent basis ? - I am sure your
father can learn to type : "Xtart".
Xtart is a small program written by the venerable Civileme (of this
list fame - where is he ???). It presents you with a numbered text
menu from which to choose your favoured desktop environment.
So, just urpmi xtart and edit /etc/inittab to runlevel 3.
