Hi Roberto I haven't looked at mplayer. Do you mean that I can watch a DVD on a serial console? I use lynx when I don't need frames or images and dillo when I do. I only use firefox when I need java or images + https. I've tried some other text-based browsers supposed to do frames and stuff but I couldn't get them to work. The man pages said the interface was intutitive. I couldn't even intuit the help. I remember when I was first transitioning from OS/2 to linux. Mostly, I ran WordPerfect (the text-mode version) that had a preview screen. It took me a while to get used to lout, make a ps, then launch gv to preview it. Once I get my etch box all set up I'll try Lyx but primarily as a way to learn latex. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
