Well, I tried my own advise and it didn't work for me either. I see the
suggestion to edit or modify the rc.d files but don't know how to do that. The
last time I tried to change a file I crashed the whole config and had to
reinstall. By the way, I am getting very good at reinstall or new install since
there seems to be something that causes me to lose my mouse and Keyboard every
now and then. I keep trying to find the problem but no luck so far. I am
running an AMD K6 II - 333 with a soyo 5EMA + motherboard 64 meg ram and
western Digital 13.6 gig ide hard drive, generic floppy and cdrom. If there is
a man page or faq that talks about editing files I would like to know. I am not
trained in computers just determined to learn. Thanks in advance for any help
here.
