Thanks for the info. Ideally i would like to log-in on the console and then go into X manually by running the X command. I am sure when X was set-up the configurator (which I was not aware) set-up the system to run on X on successful boot-up or start of the system. is there a way i can achieve this?? by editing a config file?? and then when I log-into X I need some xterms (atleast!!) to work with. right now the X screen is just blank!!
any suggestion on where I can get more info on setting this up or any suggestions from any one are welcome. thanks, praveen kamath On Mon, 25 Dec 2000, Hubert Chan wrote: > > --- Kamath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > All-- > > > > I installed debian 2.2potato on my laptop, I installed XFree86 and with > > that the ctwm window manager.
