OK, The Mistakes It was all my stupid mistake. I was working with some tar's having fun hacking in Debian, and then my wife and mother-in-law need to use the computer to web browse. So since I had netscape running in Debian and that what they use in Win95, I decided to be nice and let them use Debian instead of logging out rebooting and all that. Fatal mistake 1. Fatal mistake 2 -- I was logged in as root. Anyway I check on them an hour later and there in Windows - WHAT THE FFF, How!! So the get done. I discovered that they just shut the machine off and started again!!!!!
The Problem So here is the problem. I boot to wdm. But now it does startx it drops and my screen flashes off and on. I need to disable wdm before it starts. I can't crtl+alt+backspace, crtl+c, crtl+z or even crtl+alt+F3. I tried to use the rescue disk but it booted me to wdm. How can I boot to the console, I must be missing a parameter for the rescue method. Also, I normally boot with loadlin!! Roderick P. Person ? 454-2616 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
