Does your old user still exist on the system? What happens when you boot to
runlevel 3 and then type startx? What errors show up?

I always use knoppix for linux demos - very nice system...

Subject: [expert] Morphix changed my Login?!



I booted from the Morphix CD to try it out before I sent it off to
someone as a tool to promote Linux. *Supposedly* it will not alter your
existing system, but I have found out the hard way that this is not the
case.

Now my login has changed from my machine name, Node1, to "morphix",
though I have checked /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network and neither
have been altered.

The biggest problem is that my X server config has somehow been altered,
I'm assuming, because I can no longer start any WM or DE except KDE (and
you all know how I feel about that).

My XF86Config-4 is unchanged, so I do not know where to go from here in
order to get my system back the way it was.

I have posted a request for help on the Morphix site, but so far no
response.

I can assure you I will *not* be recommending this to *anyone* to try
out Linux...

        "Because at night we need the light more."
