Again, a reboot only gives a console login prompt.
Try 'startx' instead of 'X'. 'X' runs onlu an X-server with no clients which will give you exactly what you described. With 'startx' you should get an X session with a windowmanager you installed (there should be at least twm). Check also whether your window/desktopmanager is installed on your system. Finally check for 'xdm', 'gdm', 'kdm', 'wdm' or 'whatever-dm' for graphical login after boot. Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
