Hi there, I am having the same problem after upgrading from 'Warty' to 'Hoary'. I had been using Mandrake previously and dmfe had worked on this machine even though Mandrake had wanted to install 'tulip' as well. Anyway, in Ubuntu 'Hoary' how does one blacklist 'tulip' or force 'dmfe' to be loaded? Thanks a ton! Herc -- HercuLeeZ
