a bottle of kennie to the first one that finds where the CGI engines went...

Mark,

thanks for the quick and good answer! I see now a light at the end of 
the tunnel. Just one more question. I downloaded the 2.6 linux distro 
and the linux.gz from RunRev page. Both engines (revolution.x86 and 
Linux) display GTK warning I am trying to load like this:

-jailshell-2.05b$ ./Linux.2  -ui

(gtk:4788): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

any clue out there? even trying from inside a script like #!Linux -ui 
returns the same GTK warning, I think it's trying to connect to an X11 
Server
