Hi, While I installed Linux some time ago with a lot of 'trial and error', I got things working finally, Including xdm and kdm, on an old Deskpro386, 20 Mhz, 12 Mb memory with SVGA card, .
Two curious things keep me bothering from the beginning, however: - Sometimes, even during or just after starting the machine, at one of the virtual terminals, there is a message saying "INIT respawning to fast, disabled for 5 minutes". Logging in on that vt is then impossible, trying on another vt gives me the same strange message. Only one solution: power off, restarting 'dirty' and hoping for better lucks this a hardware-dependent problem or a configuration error ? - Sometimes, after playing around for a while on the machine, if some command gives me an error, subsequent commands (whatever it is) produce only one output: 'Segmentation fault'. From that moment, there is only one solution: restarting the machine, the 'dirty way'. I hope some Linux-guru can give a little advice to solve these 'destabilizing' phenomena. TIA
