I don't see what maintenance load this imposes. I have a no-x runlevel for when I don't want a GUI, and since creating it and populating it I've never had to touch it. In practice, it turns out that the only differences between my default and no-x are the presence of gpm in no-x and of xdm and lm_sensors in default. (I use lm_sensors for gkrellm, which of course, although indispensable on the desktop, isn't much use in a character display.) -- Rgds Peter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
