Hello all, Well, I DID manage to get Fedora 1 installed from hard disk. But now I have a serious problem: I can't write to window ":0". I need to for some background programs I am running. OK, on a machine where :0 works on RH 9, doing a grep shows: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7 But, on my Fedora machine, it shows: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 I *do* want it to listen, I guess. So, what controls this and how do I fix it to look like the command at top? Thank you for any help! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: gilbert@xxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
