[ale] Why

[Jhubbs at niit.com (Jeff Hubbs)]

That's 
a real good question.?? I just recently tried to set up an X-less 
disk-limited machine for bind/dhcpd under RH6.2 and it was pulling the same kind 
of stunts.??

Out of 
curiosity, I renamed a directory that held a lot of X stuff (somewhere under 
/usr, I think) to see if it affected anything and yes, things broke, so I 
renamed it back.

I 
really wish distros were more straightforward w.r.t. setup options than just 
giving you??"server," "workstation," and "custom."????Distros are 
complex enough that??if you select "custom," you??don't get a good feel 
for even what the provided starting point gets you (at least I don't, but I 
don't think I'm unusually clueless).

  Why
  Why when I load RH 7.1 and say no X widows, does netscape get 
  loaded. Why when I say no X windows, Does it try to 
  configure my video card for X?
