Ehhh... little help?
sime:
Oh my,
overload ... :D
Just out of curiosity and as you are running Redus Hattus have you tried...
Opening a shell window and typing setup @ the prompt?
If not give it a try and go for that last option.
Another thing you may want to look at is /etc/inittab search the file for a line that is simalar to
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# xdm is now a separate service
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
it may be xdm or a gnome version of xdm as above called prefdm or gem they all do the same as xdm. Notice the 5 in the command line (hence going to run level 3 kills it) and the respawn command which is why like Arnie it always comes back.
Have fun
Later

I found that line, although I don't quite know what it means... are you suggesting I set that to 3? I'm thinking I might just reinstall.. I mean, I haven't really even "settled in" yet. I've NEVER screwed up an OS that much that fast :rolleyes:
A lot of people are saying Redhat 9 is very good (apparently much better than 8) so I might get that... the information for my PC says the architecture is i686, though, and everything I see says i386. That's not a problem, is it?
(Edit: I tried the setup thing, nothing there applies to the situation :( )

P.S: and this one for Knoppix says i486! I sure hope that's not a problem...

Reinstalled. Now everything is fix... well, everything works ok, and that's good enough for now. I still have some problems but I don't think I'll be so eager to try to fix them without knowing what I'm doing ;) Thanks for your help everybody, I definitely know a lot more now than I would have without it.
