I used xf86config to try to create an x platform,
and with the failure of earlier attempts, reduced the screen choices. Lo and
behold, when I just boot up, I came up to a screen (somewhat inelegant) with a
big fat x toward the middle, but with the mouse and keyboard otherwise
apparently frozen
Earlier today on reading a related post, I
downloaded XFree86 3.3.6 which seems to provide new support for my NVIDIA
GeForce graphics card
I'd now like to install it
How to I get in and delete enough of the earlier
install to get back a command line. I assume the way to start is by booting via
a floppy
Then what?
