Hello Neil,

I had these fonts installed on both systems already.
I went ahead and rebuilt the fonts and unison on both systems.

The gui interface now works great....no problems. (thanks)

On another note, since you have some experience with unison.

I want to sync up (2) portables, down to every file (including
dot files, email boxes etc) using unison.  This only applies
to the user's home dir, not any other files. I have to be ready to
travel at a moments notice and fix equipment for a variety of
installations.   I have identical setups on both portables,
one is a p4 the other an amd64(turion). I cannot be caught
in a situation where my portable is not ready for field support.
Are there any files in my home dir that I should exclude from unison
as they will be different, (due to the nature of the different
arch's of the machines)?

I do maintain identical world files on each machine as well as
similar make.conf entries(except for arch related stuff).

Off hand, I cannot think of any so I should just be able to point
unison to the user's home dir (/home/james) and duplicate
EVERYTHING??

I do have both system setup to only poll for email when I manually
request it, but, that's all I can think of. However, I have
not used something like unison before, so any suggestions
or caveats would be most welcome.


James
