I can't. the graphical login is a hindrance right now because it won't start any window manager and it won't allow me to reboot under console mode (there was such an option with 8.0 but apparently, it's gone under 8.1) If I can't find a way to boot into linux, the only other solution will be for me to reinstall. I could do that. It'll take only time. But I'd rather use the opportunity to learn new skills. i think there are a couple of posts in the mandrakeuser.org/mub/ about booting to console mode (or I think it was more of a rescue) using the installation discs and then typing rescue and... just browse through the board. ;-) <snip> Chinese is 80% ok... Last time I could boot Linux, it displayed chinese quite properly (even though the font is hard to read). Chinese support has actually improved between 8.0 and 8.1. The xcin chinese input program seems at last to work properly... but it's the 20% missing that prevent me from doing any job in chinese under Linux... like when I input chinese in Kmail, it displays trash... that's why I still use Outlook Express! :-( <snip> try sylpheed. its i18n-aware because it is authored by people using non-latin based charsets (specifically from japan but users needing i18n-aware mailers are happy with it). i have this script so that I can make sylpheed display kanji characters correctly (can do with alias but I read somewhere that having too many alias is not good) #/bin/bash export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP sylpheed sylpheed & works beautifully. ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back." =============================== Anuerin G.
