[newbie] kbdrate?
To speed up the keyboard typematic rate, I added this line to the end of /etc/profile: kbdrate -r 30 -d 250 ...but it doesn't work from there. As root at a console prompt, it works fine. Regular users apparently don't have rights to use the command. So... where/how should I configure this? Thanks, Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't completely work! The eject choice is there, but it doesn't eject the disk. :( Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The idea is that you are > booting to runlevel 3 with either framebuffer or non framebuffer linux. Ok so how do you tell Grub to boot to runlevel 3 if inittab says to go to 5? With lilo, you type "linux 3" at lilo's prompt. Grub's prompt uses different commands. I've tried some (like an obvious one, "boot"), but then it says the kernel must be loaded, etc. I was wondering if there was a simpler choice like lilo has.
