So you are saying I need about 55 megs more free disk space than I have right now (105 meg drive - about 80 megs already allocated); I've got just about everything but that. I can't afford to go out and buy another high-capacity (from my point of view) hard drive just so I'll have room for X AND the applications to run under it, so it looks like I'll have to continue working with character-based windowing for a while. Besides, I don't even know what a socket driver does in the BSD world! Thanks again -- Kev
