I will keep this suggestion in my personal install notes for the next time I do a virgin install. That deals with various services but doesn't help with the 30 or so programs that are started in gnome-session-properties (the startup session manager). I am sure that about half of them are of no use to me. I have turned about half of them off. I will now have to wait to see which ones I need from startup. None of the 'man' notes suggest that this or that program should be running from the start. -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
