No need to apologize for liking text! You might, though, want to get X Windows running soon, since xterms allow for variable sized "screens" (as opposed to only 80x25), which makes things pretty flexible. Also, you may want to look at Twin running with the frame buffer. $ apt-cache search twin|sort libtw - a Text mode WINdow environment - required library libtw-dev - a Text mode WINdow environment library, development twin - a Text mode WINdow environment. twutils - Utilities for twin Something like DESQview, if you remember that. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | Regarding war zones: "There's nothing sacrosanct about a | | hotel with a bunch of journalists in it." | | Marine Lt.
