That may be the relevant variable in my case as well; I'll watch more carefully. I did get a >5.5 OS install to work, and I may have selected only the "server" group instead of that and the "server gui" group. I'm mostly happy using text configs, except I keep running into cases where the manuals or helpful people on the net assume I'm using the GUI, so I've gotten in the habit of installing it when I get a choice. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
