And it worked for me too!!

Thanks guys

p.s. in order to roll out this great product to our faculty, staff and 
students (many of whom are less than computer-savvy), is there a way of 
packaging up set of packages (just the base, Xfree and a couple of misc. 
packages such as setsid above) so they can download from a local 
repository?  Sorta like a download profile for setup.exe?
