Set your system to boot into runlevel 3 -> after that, then you can
safely install the video driver - and test it by starting X with
"startx" - then once you're satisfied that the driver works correctly,
reset the system runlevel to 5 (graphical login)

It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
I have found that the easiest thing to do is boot failsafe and then login as my user self and then login as su from there. That way nothing needs be changed for regular boot up. I don't know enough vi so I make sure to hav midnight commander (mc) installed. It is on the d/l CDs just doesn't auto install unless you pick the package. HTH Dennis M.
