Thanks to everyone for the answers on installing KDE or GNOME on a 2.0 box. I appreciate it.
Installing GNOME brought something to mind I hadn't thought about, although I noticed it months ago: my .xsession file is never read. I had to edit the global /etc/X11/Xsession file to force X to load my window manager. This is irritating. Why would .xsession not be read? Any ideas? I have three Unix books and four Linux books here, and not one describes the X startup process even well enough for me to figure out which program actually reads Xsession and .xsession files. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy." -Martin Luther on Copernicus' theory that the Earth orbits the sun
