Hello all, When I was running through the install process. Diskdrake hung during drive formatting. I had previously partitioned using partitionmagic so all it had to do was format and set mount points. I don't exactly remember the error it gave 'can't write something or other' but that's not important because as soon as I clicked ok on the error box (the only option) the entire system hung. All that was left was to reboot and try to install again(which worked). But now, my 3gb drive that was to hold the /home directory is no longer recognized by the bios. I'm pretty sure there is no way to recover the drive, but I thought I would ask just in case someone out there had a solution to this problem.
Secondly, this machine is intended to be a server, so during install I told it not to start x automagically. So once I had gotten everything installed I logged into my user account and tried to startx to get to all those nice config wizards. But to my surprise, the WM that started was just a blank blue screen. Left click for menus. no wizards. I hacked on it for a good long while and could never figure out how to get kde to load. So if anyone could point me in the right direction for this I would greatly appreciate it. I looked through mailing list archives, user manuals, forums and elsewhere and couldn't find the right commands I need to use. Thanks for any help and if I left out any neccessary information I apologize. Thanks, ken __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
