Quite frankly, you don't have to speak Mandrake lingo but it would help if you read the answers you get, better. I posted about 3 answers back in this thread, how you could edit the /etc/inittab file along with some other options. I didn't repeat the process of explaining again, expecting you to have read it. Anyhow here's the part again: ................. As an extra resort: Boot into failsafe and edit /etc/inittab there's a line there at the beginning that reads: id:5:initdefault: Change the 5 to 3, save the file and reboot. You'll need "vi" to edit that file or: install the wonderful Midnight Commander (mc) with "urpmi mc" and then type "mc" to fire it up. Find the /etct/inittab file and open it for editing using F4 and saving it with F2.....It's a clone of the Norton Commander so if you've ever used that (or dosshell or wincommander) you'll feel right at home:) Luck needs to be pushed, .....................
