Firefox and Openoffice work fine. If you apt-get kcontrol and apt-get gnome-control-center, you will have "just enough" KDE and Gnome to run apps -- just make sure aptitude doesn't bring in the display managers, session managers, and window managers. Then you'll need to run gnome-settings-daemon and kdeinit in your startup so that settings are loaded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
