Thanks James for answering this question.  I thought
that the message was lost/not important enought to be
answered.  I must be honest and let you know that I
need to install FC5 as this happens on FC5T2 with some
updates not all are possible since this machine is on
dialup.

[tonio@localhost ~]$ ps -ef | grep xfs
xfs       2094     1  0 20:14 ?        00:00:01 xfs
-droppriv -daemon
tonio     3177  3156  0 20:44 pts/2    00:00:00 grep
xfs
[tonio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa xorg-x11-fonts*
xorg-x11-fonts-base-1.0.0-2
[tonio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa bitmap-fonts*
bitmap-fonts-0.3-5.1
[tonio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa urw-fonts*
urw-fonts-2.3-6.1
[tonio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa ghostscript-fonts*
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1
[tonio@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa bitstream-vera-fonts*
bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-5.1
[tonio@localhost ~]$

I did not test everything as I should have done, I
forgot about display, convert, and other stuff with
other programs.  I updated the kernel and tried to get
slmodemd, to work with the fedora test kernels for
which none worked after the initial kernel that FC5T2
came with
(
[tonio@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5
).   I need to update this machine to FC5 or test it
with another since I am happy with the way it runs
despite not having it fully updated.

Regards,

Antonio
