Hi James,

I did this, but still no GUI, can't launch kde (gives a bunch of mkdir 
errors). Command line linux seems to be functioning however, I can 
launch the text version of YAST. Also, the "configure graphics" section 
of YAST briefly brings up a gui after it tests the graphics card, then, 
after you click "ok" back to command line. During the bootup, a gui 
appears for about 1/2 second.

What do you expect should have happened after I followed those steps?

Joel
