I tried running acm (flight simulator) and my system gives the error message: unable to find libx11.so.6 or something like that. I checked and this file actually exists. Do I need to set some path to enable acm to access it? How would I do that? Thanks a lot. Mritunjay -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FRO

Re: dial up
