#/etc/init.d/gpm stop /etc/init.d/gpm: no such file or directory. "Are you sure your system is not busy doing something else or than network is already working properly ? Running top in another console might be helpful.." Whatever it may be busy doing is something set up to be doing by the Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2 installation programs. As I have repeatedly written, IMMEDIATELY upon availability of login prompt, IMMEDIATELY upon booting, the FIRST thing I do upon logging in is 'mc', on tty1. Anything else that may be going on has nothing to do with anything I did, other than in package selection and configuration during install. This ALWAYS happens on EVERY install on EVERY system since 9.0. "The way startup is done now is causing X server to be displayed before all services are started and running." I have noticed this, and don't understand why it happens. I wish X would start only after all other services have been started.
