I had a different strategy that others might be interested in. We have users experimenting with different version of X on diskless clients. I created a new directory (/usr/common/X) that had symboslic links pointing to another difectory. I then created symbolic links in /usr/bin/X11, /usr/include/X etc. that pointed to the right spot in /usr/common/X For most users - everything was fine. If I wanted to change the "default" version of X, I change the links in /usr/common/X. If it was I proble, I could change it back. For the user whose workstation needs a different release, I would mount a different directory on top of /usr/common/X. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
