Hello;

I have an old SuSE 9.1 CD that I would like to boot from. When I go to the Rescue installation it boots to a non-graphic terminal (I think run level 3). Can someone tell me how to start kde from the command line?

Thanks

Of course if you want it to always start with a desktop, you can edit /etc/inittab and change id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault:.

I suggested that as well, and it did not work. I think the other responses on this list that the rescue environment that is set up is far too minimal for running something like X is correct. There is little chance that X and all are in other then RPMs waiting to be installed from the CD. And, on 9.1, I think X automatic configuration was, well, a dream of things to come.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to an installed system, not rescue mode.

Thanks anyway! -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
