He dropped in a Belkin; so now I *can* button over to my Dell dou server and get X11 working. Plus lots of other things. I want some GUI so I can get my UPS set up properly. Right now, the server is text-only. What ports to I need to install to get the X-Window System up? I'll probably use KDE and some other GUI stuff. I will eventually use the server as a print server for anything OOo or PDF. Whatever. It has been nearly ten years since I last dealt with getting-X-going. Right now I have ballpark 530 ports installed. Can anybody give me the command that I can type from /usr/ports? Also, what do I add to ~kline/[*]? tia, y'all, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.90a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org
