Re: [newbie] Localhost login
This happened to me the first time I installed linux. The only way I got around it was to reinstall linux. You will be prompted at the X setup if you want a graphical startup. Choose yes and you will be able to log on through a GUI interface. From that point you will be able to use gnome, kde, window maker, ect. - Original Message - From: Tashman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 4:43 AM Subject: [newbie] Localhost login : I have setup a duel-booting system with Linux and : Windows 98.

next time this happens, hit alt -f7, if i think it's doing what it's doing, then you should see it there. - Original Message - From: "Bill Kinsey" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 8:42 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Localhost login This happened to me the first time I installed linux.

Re: [newbie] localhost login
How did you obtain MDK 6.1? I've heard that some of the CD's shipped with magazines had this problem. Check the archive for better descriptions.

Re: [newbie] localhost login
This does sound like the problem that occured with the version of Mandrake 6.1 that was on the front of PC Answers in the UK. This does, however, go back to seven weeks ago. I, for one, am still awaiting the replacement CD from PC Answers. John the Nadger http://mklinux.cjb.net On Wed, 19 Jan 2000, you wrote: How did you obtain MDK 6.1?
