I'd just like to be able to specify what bloat is used, or have it kick in when I start a relevent application rather than at boot. right now I'm not using Evolution yet evolution-data-server is running, I'm not using nautilus to look at files, and yet it's running (I don't use or need desktop icons thanks very much). bah A. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
