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


startx

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.


Yours sincerely,
