I *Thought* I had not selected X, but your words caused me to review my installation notes. My face is *red*. I did select "All system sources, binaries and X window system". My intent with this computer is for it to be a web and mail server; when I did the install I probably accepted the X because someday I want to run Mozilla for local html viewing. I sure didn't know the consequences of that selection! But it is there, so it will stay. Thanks for answering my question. X is there because I asked for it! And Merry Christmas to you too! Jay
