So you can always install it, it just doesn't work :) Simon

In this case, the application doesn't just install, it also starts and stays running for as long as I care to let it. It just doesn't do anything useful. Not as far as I can tell, anyway. I guess part of the question was if I'm missing something. Like, perhaps it doesn't open any windows by default, but there's some obscure way to make them come up... - Toralf> > Simon > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.centos.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fcentos&data=04%7C01%7Ctoralf.lund%40pgs.com%7C6c47e511240a4237497b08d94695a0d6%7C51d05d6147e9480b93b298dc84f1ed06%7C0%7C0%7C637618430739340708%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=HqqGJWRAYMvpMi5gvI4IeCOPAe65Sjusg3Ji0wbCECA%3D&reserved=0
