Greetings, everyone! Yes, I'm back with more laptop installation problems. You'd think I'd leave well enough alone, eh? :) Anyhue, I downloaded the 70-2 iso, burned the cd, and tried the graphical install. No dice. Got the "Couldn't connect to socket" X error. Tried the text install, which seemed to go fine. But, when I boot up into linux, it refuses to recognise my root password! I can log in as the normal user, but can't startx. The path statement doesn't include the /usr/X11R6/bin path. Not a big deal there. For the record, I'm installing onto an Acer Travelmate 512DX, Celeron 366, 32 meg of ram, Neomagic video chipset, builtin cd and 56k winmodem. Thanks to everyone's help on the list, I was able to get 6.1 running nicely on this machine, but stupid me, I wanted to see what all the buzz was about.... The biggest problem is the root password. I *know* I have the right password. I always use this password, and was very careful to make sure I was typing it in correctly during the setup phase. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any tips on getting the graphic installed would be nice, too. :) Thanks! Wayne
