I need some help. I mentioned above a bug report with the solution to my epiphany problem. Can someone translate it to the uneducated? There is an attachment. Can I run it? using sh? Also, I still have the GDM problem. I'm happy to do the work, but I don't know where to start. (GDM says bad config settings even when selected the default theme.) Where can I look for more information? Thanks, -j __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
