I hear what you're saying, though I could always argue that a few hard-core individuals might prefer to use console apps, or might have machines old enough that X is an unnecessary load. TBH, I'm not really familiar with taskselect ... I don't recall it being there when I last installed a system, but maybe I just don't remember it. It does seem like a "desktop" configuration would include X by default, doesn't it? -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly.
