I was assuming that the script xorg-upgrade was something separate because other instructions in there said to be sure to use a filesystem with lots of space. I was thinking that the script program was some sort of program that would capture the output of the program so that "developers could see it" or something like that. Bogus assumption because I'm not at all familiar with script. Thanks for setting me straight. Andy
