I have to login as root and go from there. Typing gdm is rejected because the binary is already running. And that proves true. Tying kdm eventually gets me to that graphix login. From the kde login i can mouse into any window manager I choose, but it turns out I'm more familiar with gnome, etc, etc. so to hav my hand, fingers, wrist, i'll appreciate any insights. Ifthe booot process looks at my .xsession, that is likely part oft he problem. Almost back to normal, tho! -g -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
