Now, the system will boot into SuSE but will drop back to a command
<snip>
Well....... telenit 5 worked but it didn't get me to a gui. Just another cli where I could log in as a user. Neither did kdestart, with an unknown command reply, or a startx which produced a "startx is not installed". I guess that my system, thanks to "repair system" and my ignorance is so screwed up that I have no choice except to reinstall. Maybe I will just get 10.0 and see if I can restore my /home and the other backed-up/important data without huge problems.
If you install 10.0, when you are finished, you can simply rsync your archived /home over your freshly installed /home. If you install apt4suse, you will be able to fairly easily upgrade all of your software after a fresh install of SuSE 10.0. No that I mention it, installing apt4suse right now will be a way to get you back into a stable system, and then upgrade/install all the software again. You can also use Yast to tell it to reinstall KDE. HTH Mark
Anyway, I thank you for your attempts to help me. Any other ideas/tips to restore this mess would certainly be welcomed.
