I only have a few questions that I'm sure will seem completely easy to those who have had this awhile... 1) How does one go about changing the amount of colors available on screen (I'm using a Stealth 24 VLB card with 1 meg, capable of 800x600 in 16-bit) and have the S3 server installed... Mosaic runs just fine in 256 color or whatever it's running. :) 2) Looking at the Walnut Creek catalog, I see FreeBSD with a good looking bitmap, with color dock icons down below, etc... How do I add bitmaps as "wallpaper" like you do on Micro$oft products? 3) What version of Netscape currently runs with FreeBSD? Is the Netscape Communicator 4.x for Linux 2.x? Guess that's really it... I'm just trying to spice up Xwindows a bit to get it out of the drab bluish green tones and gray background. I guess it's already running in 256 color or 16-bit color, but I'd still like to know what that dock program is so I can install it, as well as the program to add a bitmap image, and of course Netscape so I can have integrated Mail/News/Web browsing... Thanks in advance for any help. So far this looks to be a great O/S... - Brian
