BTW, This group rocks!

A bunch of you have been super helpful with the work I'm doing and I  
greatly appreciate it. (-:

An attempt to install a demo of a commercial X server when a bit sour  
and getting the packages uninstalled enabled me to restore XFree86 as  
the default in RH9.

Cheers,
Jenn
