I'm not sure. I had the thing mounted under my desk, so, the switch is
just a finger length away, and I used the switch all the time before it
died.
But I think you can check the spec from theirs, or one of the vendor's
web site for detailed info.

Sounds like you don't have the X rpm's installed.
Pulll all the working cononfig files that you have edited/setup/customised
onto some other hdd/partition, and keep them safe.
The do a reinstall, and select X Windows support. Once the all the rpm's are
in , it will try to run the XConfigurator, I think. what ever happens, get
it to finish the install, boot into runlevel 3, and then do the locate
thing. you should have a startx somewhere, and there should be the
XCnfigurator and the XF86Setup programs.
luck.

I had a similar problem when I first started working with Samba and Windows
2000. In the end, I upgraded to the latest version of Samba and it seemed
to fix everything. In fact, it really flys now. I asked the samba lists
about this and so many variables came back that it was overwhelming. So, I
would say upgrade to the latest version of Samba and try again.

If you didn't install LILO in your MBR (Master Boot Record), but in
your Linux partition, it's probably enough to mark your Linux
partition as active in DOS's fdisk.

You're twisting it again.
At least Welsh is not understood by most others non Welsh. But still,
the Welsh have no problem communicating to other Welsh.
But if you say, write a piece of code in C. and commanded it in English,
Irish, Welsh, German, French, Spanish, Portugese, Latin, Persian,
Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Zulu, Yuhoo, Yahoo, Googoo,
Woo Wee. etc. Most still won't be able to understand the code. If
they've no programming trainning. They might understand the command, but
still not the actual codes.
