See http://www.dillo.org/ > Hi Charles, thanks for the reply... Sounds good, but i'm a linux virgin (well nearly). 1. So in order to use XFCE4 instead of Gnome or FDE what do i do? Do I specify that in anaconda or later? Also, is that a minimal graphical environmental or just a terminal? 2. I understand the idea of disabling unneeded services, but how do I know which are unimportant? I know that in anaconda i can select aminimal instalation - is that minimal enough for this? 3. I'll take a look at dillo - thanks Duncan
