Whoa that's weird... 2.1 is going to be getting stale fast any reason you're not using 2.2?
I haven't the faintest idea why you're getting this problem, but thought a descriptive subject line might bring more help :) >From the package description: _____________________________________________________________________ xfs is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X servers (and thus to X clients). All X servers have the ability to serve locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to offload that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of fonts on a networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running X servers on a network do not require their own set of fonts. xfs may also be invoked by users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user accounts that are not available to the X server or to an already running system xfs. _____________________________________________________________________ Should be safe to uninstall: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg --purge xfs To reinstall if needed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] apt-get install xfs HTH, Jon On Sun, Sep 03, 2000 at 08:40:07PM -0400, Ratman wrote: :I apologize if this is the wrong question for this list.
