Umm just changing runlevel with init also means no processing of all the
instructions in /etc/rc.d/rc.{sysinit,serial,firewall} which define the
basic operation conditions for the system. These include mounting
partitions and swap, setting the clock and hostname. initiating devfs,
isapnp detection, loading of modules from /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, starting
RAID devices, and execution of the mandrake_everytime script. So yes, there
is quite a lot of difference between the two ideas.

Yah - I installed that one, too - in fact, the problem was there even after I installed it! I thought it was causing it, but after "downgrading" to the release version of mandrake_desk, the problem persisted. -peter
Re: [expert] problems after installing KDE 1.93

I installed all of the KDE 1.93 RPMs last night off of Cooker, and then my X login screen got completely goofed up - it's displayed in this retro font, and there's only one option in the window manager menu that looks like a list: "kde, gnome, sawfish, default" or something like that. Strangely, when I log in, it puts me in IceWM (which isn't in the aforementioned list, but is, of course, installed on my system)! I normally use GNOME, so I thought it would default to that. What on earth is going on? -peter
