And, if X crashes your graphics card when it tries to start (unfortunately, it's been known to happen, in pathological cases), then just type 'linux single' at the LILO boot prompt to boot into single-user mode, from where you should be able to correct the problem. If all else fails, rename the link /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm to start with something other than the letter 'S' (for start), and X won't automatically start at boot-time. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
