Check with yum grouplist and you will see. And even installing "KDE Desktop" won't help, because it is not starting automatically. And then, we don't have runlevels any more, this means a little bit more looking into details is required. best regards --- Michael Schumacher PAMAS Partikelmess- und Analysesysteme GmbH Dieselstr.10, D-71277 Rutesheim Tel +49-7152-99630 Fax +49-7152-996333 Geschäftsführer: Gerhard Schreck Handelsregister B Stuttgart HRB 252024
