RE: [newbie] Booting into Graphic Menu
As root edit the file /etc/inittab and on the line that says 'id:3:initdefault:' change the 3 to a 5. Also make sure you have a file named 'desktop' in /etc/sysconfig with one word in it "KDE" in upper case with no quotes. That should do it.

At the prompt, just type : #linuxconf. Select Boot something I forgot. And in there you can configure to start with X-Windows system (KDE) May it helps.

RE: [newbie] Booting into Graphic Menu
you also can go to the /etc/initab.conf file and edit it, so the default number in wich the linux will star will be 5, that is X mode there is a way from drake conf too when you can set to start from X11 -Original Message- From: Michael Holt [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 8:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [newbie] Booting into Graphic Menu "Michael A.

From there, after you select your screen resolution, you are given the option to boot directly into X There are other ways to do this, but this is pretty easy to remember.

For me the easiest way is to edit /etc/inittab and set the initdefault to 5... (as root).
