Hi Ivan. This is just a thought. Check if you have the apps "dialog" , and 
"whiptail" installed, which are used by the shell as a simple window for 
configuring stuff. I don't know which distro you are using. With Debian, or 
Fedora Core/Planetccrma, you will be able to look in synaptic to see if they 
are installed. Nigel.
