Greetings All! Thanks all for the assistance concerning X not running kde. As it was, for anyone else that might run up against this issue, it was simply a case of updating my xinitrc package. . . Now for the question: Is there a preferred way to remove /dev files or does rm work ok? Thanks all! -- Seth Gibson www.mp3.com/PSM0x2710 members.tripod.com/cybernetic_thunder (There's Actually STUFF Here Now! YAY!!)
