-----------------------------

    good luck. One install of c3 had a binary file
(garbage)there insteada the usual text stuff.

  I suffer from LOTS of power surges here, so....

 re-installing/upgrading also got firefox outta the box
for me thou. (installed twice)

   and I'm willing to bet his root is "nobody" (99/99)
 not (00,00). ( all those screen savers etc, gone!)

 so the xhost + localhost
    won't;
 and xscreensaver & 
    doesn't.


 plus the usual glitches with standard and graphic
greeters 

 (which one of thosae screens didn't accept root as a
sign-in?)

   personally, i'm finding 100 megs of ramm being
reserved for the onboard controller (and only two modes
availble) a bit of a puzzler.
