I dunnow about RH, but Debian gives you an option where you can select the packages you want to install. The X stuff you don't need yet, so dispense with it. Some of the other stuff you may not need either. I'm sure someone here can help you to determine just what you do and don't need to install. Red Hat may have an install program for folks who want to do it manually instead of installing the whole kitten-kabootle. Ann P. -- Ann K.
