Hello all, My brother Mel pointed out that since I have x window working now that I have broken applications and not a broken x window system, and that I should not use the kanotix live CD to reinstall kanotix but should just use it as a live boot to rescue the system. He said that when he has time to come over he will help me get my system running again to my satisfaction and will help me set up a backup system on several CD's which takes a snap shot of my system before I try new applications so that in case I break something, I can return to the point before I broke something. And once I do that, I could do a snap shot back up before I try out installing new applications and can indeed do a snap shot back up on a regular basis.
So if I learn how to set up and maintain a snap shot back up system I can then be a little more adventurous. Mel pointed out that since I have x window working, I just have a few broken applications. So I have decided that I can use my system as it is until my brother can show me what to do to fix what is broken and how to set up a snap shot back up. I have therefore decided to use my system as it is until he helps me by coming over. I will know by Wednesday whether he can come over this week end. So I have decided not to do anything dangerous before he comes over. And included in the category of dangerous is installing kanotix off the live CD when I do not have to. I will let the group know what I have learned about my system after my brother Mel comes over. Most of my applications still work, so I will not be tempted to do dangerous things.
