Configuration files has been installed into [wherever they were put]. You may want to take a look there; there are plenty of possibilities for configuration." (or something along those lines). I agree that the first-time installation should be shortened -- most users simply don't need an exact DPI setting for their screen, and having to go out searching for CDs or whatever is perceived as annoying. :-) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/
