No, I've already done that. There are one or two base packages I need to install in addition. I've just got to sort out what they are.I didn't want to install all of gnome, and then remove each one until I discovered the essential requirements.
But, if that's what I have to do, then I'll have to do it. Thanks anyway. Regards, David.
