Hi,
-----Original Message----- From: suse-linux-e-return-137122-guido_schiffer=web.de@suse.com [mailto:suse-linux-e-return-137122-guido_schiffer=web.de@suse.com]On Behalf Of Trey Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 10:39 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] How to get a new 8.1 Admin guide? [...] Oh, & just to add in the dumb newb question :)
Please post only one prob per mail. It's a bit confusing asking for a manual and wanting infos about the commandline too :-)
I'm trying to get better with the command line .
Good idea :-)
I'd like to turn splash off, so my PC boots directly into the CL for a few days.
Does the splash bother you? There're several possibilities: a) booting with splash into X (KDE, Gnome whatever) = default b) booting without splash into X (KDE, Gnome whatever) Disable splash in /etc/rc.config -> Done :-) c) booting with splash into console There must be a way to configure that "by hand", but I only now the "yast-way" (yast2 might be similar) - start yast (either in KDE or on the console by typing yast) - chose "administer the system" (point 5 right above 'show readme') - sorry, but I've only the german version and I don't know how it's called in the english version) - chose "Login-Configuration" - point 4) - chose "Login-Shell" (?) - first point and change from graphical to ascii - leave the rest untouched and save the new conf by chosing "continue" - 'ESC' (2x) end yast and the system will be reconfigured at runtime :-) d) booting without splash into console combine points b+c
If I do that, after it boots, & I'm sitting at the linux login, how do I get into KDE?
If you have the suse-default configuration just type: 'startx'
Thanks,
You're welcome CU Guido
