Hello Thomas,

In my experience, most Desktop Environments would be too much for a
MobilePro...  I don't think I had much luck getting any desktop environment
up and running except for Matchbox.  It was very slow, so I stuck to
WindowLab when I was using X.  Then again, I was using a MP 780, I think the
MP 790 had a little more RAM, no?

I had compiled some binary packages of Matchbox; they are available for
download at:

http://www.neiu.edu/~edshawr/hpcmips/

Regards,
Elijah Rutschman
