Rather than attempting to install XFree86 4.0.x, I simply added a link from libXaw3d.so.6.1 to libXaw.7.0 and did an ldconfig. I was then able to do a successful -net install, a normal user install, and open an MS Word document. I am fairly certain that you could do the same link without the "3d" and be as successful. It is certainly possible that you will eventually run into a libXaw.6 vs libXaw.7 incompatibility, but, so far, "it works for me". Rick Cook -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
