That is annoying, isn't it? I've got a headless server with xbase installed ... everytime I hit the final enter during the Select stage, it pops me into a conflict resolution window where it "suggests" an xserver, xfntbase*, etc. ... at that point I hit "R"; "Q" and go on my merry way. Not 100% user-friendly, but not too onerous either. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
