Stop running puplet. Go to System->Preferences->More Preferences->Session Click on the "Startup Programs" tab, select "/usr/bin/puplet" and disable it. You can also click on the "Current Session" tab and delete puplet from your current session. Or you can "rpm -e pirut" to delete all of the GUI-based software maintenance stuff. Your choice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Where there's a will, I want to be in it. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
