My login now gets me in fine and X Windows is working splendidly and I'm very impressed. Love the xfishtank program :) Perhaps there was something wrong with what I typed in or maybe it just needed a re-boot to sort itself out.
one other niggling issue. My install now automatically loads the X-Windows system on start-up which is great. I also know how to remove /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm to prevent XDM for loading at boot. However when I'm in X and choose the exit option I just get an X-Windows log-in prompt again and the only way of re-booting is then as far as I can tell a cold-boot which forces a check of the drive each time which obviously slows things down a tad. I know there must be a less rude way to close down . I'm re-booting back into Windoze quite a bit for the time being so it would be handy to sort out. Thanks for your prompt responses and help I have to say I'm genuinely impressed by the quality of support on this list. Best Regards Dave Boyle http://members.aol.com/drblonuk/main.htm
