Bryan, it's supposed to take you back to the log in screen - from there you are given several choices: to shut the system down; to restart X; or the reboot the system. Click on the shutdown button and you should see these choices. This is similar to the logging off dialog box you get in MS

For those having trouble getting their printer to work in Printtools, go to http://www.rpmfind.net and download APSfilter. It says it's for the Suse distribution, but on the recommendation of someone on a Linux forum, I downloaded and successfully installed it, and was instantly able to print!

or something like that. I have a Sound Blaster card. Thanks. What you need to do is type "chmod a +rw /dev/mixer" Also, make sure you have sound enabled. Did you ever run "snconfig"?? That's how you set up your sound system-wide in Linux, although you may still need to chmod the mi

Everytime I setup partitions with Disk Druid, it says my "/" partition is too big, no matter what size it is set to, and then it can't be allocated. Same for "/boot". Only way I know around it is to have both "/" and "/boot" at same time - it only seems to call one of them "too big", usually
