Hi Andrew, I've been using AcceleratedX for about 3 years. I think xbase & xlib6 are still nessesary if you compile any X programs from source. Just to make it easy on yourself I'd include them if the packages state they need them, save yourself a lot of problems, and arguments with dselect! +--------------------------------------------------+ | Mike Nachlinger (408) 446-9914 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Apres Ski Club 1-888-APRESGO www.apres.org | +--------------------------------------------------+
