Hi Vagrant,

No. Just gimp xfrc4, and the X packages you suggested.

Will do. Thanks.

I got a flurry of permission denied error messages.

My time is limited tomorrow but, if possible, will do another run with my
normal user log-in.

I'll have some working time on Sunday, then I'm off to CES for a week. So,
looking ahead, would it be smarter for me to start adding packages to
test.packages, or play with some of the preseeding options?

Also, the system I'm working on has limited memory, 256K. Do you see a
problem as I start adding packages?

Many thanks and best wishes,

Lloyd
