Yes, I tried that and I am able to get to the mcc, problem is that I'm not sure where to go from there. Under booting options the lilo graphical is selected, but still GUI is not starting unless I manually command 'startx', and it runs only as myuser (it won't run under root).

'

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.'. Is it possible for you to copy-paste the information for me?Thank you to both of you.
Ricardo.
