No Im telling you thats what is going on in the background, you should not have to run it. Can you snap a screen shot and put it somewhere I can look at it? I would be happy to help you with this if you cant find documentation..
Thanks for the offer, but I've given up on updating Linux. I only use the box for Mahjong now. I've got plenty of Windows boxes that work fine (and a Mac) to handle my work needs.
I took the Linux box off the internet so security matters are moot. I put the printer on my Mac. Linux is simply a novelty machine running in the corner now. It will stay that way until Linux is ready for the desktop. Since I don't run the servers at the U, I won't be needing it soon.
I have a Northstar Advantage, running CP/M and an Apple IIe running in the same corner. My old Kaypro sits there too, but I seldom turn it or the Osborne on.
