List,

Thanks to those of you who took the time reply.  Yeah I did finally get an
install to take and so far the differences are drastically better than KDE 1.2
and X 3.1.3.3?. So far it is impressive.

The install program would freeze the machine or give me numerous package install
errors, with or w/o reformatting /home.  I finally gave / ,/usr and /opt
signifigant room was I able to get a clean install.  Even that wasn't clean
because when I tried to insert the Extensions CD (that I burned from an ISO) it
didn't like that and I was force to cancel.  So I just restored my old
environment from a gzipped tar ball from a CD/RW and I'm back in business.

Thanks again,

Terry
