Howdy all - I'm a relatively new user... When running X (KDE) as root (I was configuring KDM), our power went out for a second, causing the computer to reboot... as it was rebooting, the power went out again... anyway, now when I type "finger", I get a little table similar to this:
user: Tty: Idle: Login: root *:0 dec root *p0 18:35 dec root *p1 1:01 dec root *p2 dec what does this mean, and how do I fix it? As root, I tried running "fsck" (simply by typing "fsck"), because I got the impression that this was similar to running Norton Utilities to fix the filesystem - but nothing seemed to happen.... ALSO - LILO, anyone? I can't for the life of me figure out how to get lilo going, even though I think I've read almost everything there is (does this mean I'm too stupid for linux?)... anyway, my disk setup is as below: /dev/hda1 boot primary dos fat 16 (big) 2 GB (C: drive in windows) /dev/hda2 primary dos fat 16 1 GB (E: drive in windows) /dev/hda3 primary linux ext2 1 GB linux partition I tried running lilo as root (simply by typing "lilo") and it didn't work.... I then typed "lilo -u /dev/hda3" to uninstall it (?)....what am I doing wrong? FINALLY.... is there an easy way to get all of the above partitions to "mount" at bootup, so that I can access my windows files from linux without having to "su root" and mount and unmount one at a time? THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!!! Rich
