killed gui...
Well, I was attempting to remove kde1.1.2 to make my machine a leaner, meaner an faster machine unfortuanately I boobed someplace. x is still good, but cannot get to a gui for login now.. Using the line /etc/rc.d/rc.gui INIT: /opt/kde/bin/kdm: not installed I changed the line in /etc/config.d/shells/bashrc to read kde2 as follows... [ -z $KDEDIR ][ -d /opt/kde2 ] export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2 backedup my X11 scripts and proceeded to remove kde1 items. (I have not yet removed qt1), logged out of gui, switched to tty1 logged in as root replaced my X11 scripts and proceeded with /etc/rc.d/rc.gui to receive above. telinit 5 gives the following INIT: /opt/kde/bin/kdm: not installed INIT: Switching to runlevel: 3 INIT: sending processes the TERM signal Press enter to continue back to my loggin prompt. I also did perform the kill pid of kdm but there was no process to kill Im currently using a webmail interface from browser so I hope the wordwrap aint too awfull.

Should I go with the latest kernel or something different. If this is your first kernel build, I wouldn't bite off more than you can chew. In other words, don't try to start adding all kinds of fancy features, such as USB support until you are comfortable building a kernel in the first place. Sure, you might find it quite easy, and get a fully functional, USB-enabled kernel on the first try, but you may not, and trying to get USB working will just be another place to screw up. I'd recommend rebuilding the 2.2.12 kernel that you have so that it has the same exact functionality that you're using now. If that goes well, then work on moving up to a 2.4.17 kernel. Going from 2.2.x to 2.4.x kernels is not very difficult, but its not a very smooth process either, as *ALOT* of packages will need to be upgraded to get a working 2.4.x kernel. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes in your 2.4.17 source tree for the minimum requirements. = Lonni J.
