Fedora help

Re: Fedora help

The reason I have for working on a Linux system is to practice generic UNIX stuff.

Though it would be nice to have the X environment, I'm thinking that for now I'm happy to have a command line. I'm practicing vi on the grub file for the X stuff, more for the sake of practicing vi than for the X.

I already screwed up the grub file by changing thr "root (hda0,5)" to "root (hda0,3)" thinking this was refering to the run level. I want to boot straight to the command line.
I figured out how to fix it on my own.

Thanks for all your help guys!

Re: Fedora help

FYI.

I found there is a bug reported in Bugzilla. The bug is in the file "libvgahw.a" for FC4. The fix is to replace this file with the one from FC3.

Re: Fedora help

Bruce,
Thanks for your help. It got me out of my predicament too; I had changed the settings in my gnome login display, and when it rebooted it would appear to get to the login screen for the xwindows/gnome, yet I would only have a white X as cursor, and nothing would happen.
