I was monkeying around (as root no less) in my 'dot' file - trying to figure out what makes them tick. When I logged onto my regular account, I was unable to start X using the 'startx' command. I did some poking around and it seems I no longer have a profile or .profile Consequently, only root can start X. I guess what I need to know now is what should be in a profile file. To the best of my knowledge it should be in /etc/ Could someone please verify that? If it matters, I'm running RH6.0 Also, could someone please list/describe for me the sequence of events in a Linux boot and logon? Thanks in advance, Charles Rouse
