Thanks for that informative "newbieized" tutorial on vi (of which I was terribly scared to use!). However, I managed to do the editing by invoking mc (Midnight Commander) from runlevel 3. I find it's more"user-freindly" (read: "newbie/dummy - friendly), for editing files. Your advice will be preciously garded nonetheless in my trove of useful linux commands, utilies. I now have the nvidia drivers installed (via the downloaded NVIDIA~.run) file. Now I can run Tuxracer full screen without the staggering mouse pointer! again, thanks, Elton ;-) -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_4504.html "You only live once, so let's make life EASIER for each other."
