I have my CD burner set to use ide-scsi in lilo.conf, it works fine, no
problems. Is it workable to set my non-burning CD/DVD player to
ide-scsi so I can copy CDs directly from the player to the burner?
Thanks,

Without launching Licq, what do you see if you type:

Also, do you have any old pid files in your ~/.licq?

Yo,
If you reconfigure your display settings in Mandrake Control Center, it
will ask you if you want to start X after boot up. Just tell it no. If
that don't work, just delete the start-up script in the appropriate
runnlevel. Usually it's runnlevel 5, on mien it's rc5.d/S30dm for
display manager.

A better way is to use Xtart. To install it:
urpmi Xtart
Then don't use startx at all. Just type Xtart and it will present you with a
short text menu of available WindowManagers.
Hi all,
I would like to stop using kdm, and have my machine boot

Also, if I do want to start a window manager from the shell,

started? startx gnome? startx xfce?
TIA,
Bill.
