Cassandra- First a cupple of tips for sending mails to this list. 1 do NOT post in html. alot of the real gurus here filter out all html mail. send text only. 2 set your mailer to wrap lines at 72 chars. it makes threading easier to read and keep track of who said what. for the change to boot into the gui you will need to change the file /etc/inittab you must be root to do this so either log on as root or in a terminal type su - and enter the root password when prompted make a copy of the file first incase you hose it. cp /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.before then use a text editor to change the line in /etc/inittab from id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault: the number tells the system what runlevel to boot into. there are several editors on your system. I use vi but it is rather cryptic for non unix experienced users. pico is another that is probably on your system. Don't forget to install any updates to your system that have been issued since the release. up2date is a service designed to keep your system current. It is essential that you do this since there are almost constant bugfixes and security updates issued.
