Re: [newbie] Boot GUI

[Russ]

No, that isn't it either. I have been all through that one. It seems 
like I am missing something in "login manager". When I boot to the login 
page I have now it does not allow you to typy in anything. The only 
options are those you have configured and all you can do is double click 
on one (root is not an option) then it takes you to the password screen. 
The one I want allows you to type in a user so you can access any hidden 
ones (like root). I'd hate to have to reinstall this bugger just to get 
a different login screen, sheeesh.

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

No that is not it. The deal I remember gives you 4 options. I have been
tinkering with the setting you mentioned but all it does is change the
color and texture. Now it is entirely possible that I am not doing
something right, but it worked for me before and I am about pulling my
hair out trying to find it again.
Thanks

Hi All,

When I boot the comp it boots to a GUI screen that displays the users.
You choose one then enter the password.
okay, last time I installed Linux (md9.1) I stumbled onto something that
allowed me to change the gui style (not just the color). One was a Gnome
style, one was a KDE style and a couple of others. I cannot find this
again and I do not like the style I have.
If anyone out there has any idea what I am babbling about, could you
pleeeeeeese tell me where it is at?
Thanks

Russ, go into the KDE Control Center and select System> Login Manager. 
The first tab has GUI and color scheme, is that what you want?
     

Ok, how about "drakboot" from a console or in the MCC "Boot" to do how your 
system boots.
