Hi Tim,
your message quoted:
---------------------------------
Well, if you installed an X server, you can log in and
type the startx
command. If that works, you know that you'll be able to change your inittab to always boot up in run level 5 (where X is run automatically). If not, you'll have to install or get X working first. The /etc/inittab file has a line with id:3:initdefault near the start, the number is the default initial run level. Once you'd got X running, you'd change that 3 to a 5. You need to be the root user to edit that file. (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Well I probably know what is
happening to my problem. It is the memory size insufficient to install and
run X-Window in F-Core 5 during FC-5 installation. Mine has only 128Mb
but the min. requirement is
256MB for Graphical mode. Isn't it
correct? Therefore,
I remembered during installation it
mentioned not enough
memory to run graphical mode and so
I can't see X-server
or X-window sitting else where in
the system.
As advised, it is not
practical to force installation of X-Window
until I upgrade my memory to
256Mb(my desktop's max limit) and reinstall FC-5 all over
again.
Pls correct me if i am
wrong?
However, logically tells, why it kept
prompting for :
Localhost logic:
password:
instead of booting up in text mode
gracefully, and now I really can't go into text mode with that
prompt. What info should i enter
in order to skip it or pass it. I have no
clue.... Best regards,
Claude YU |
