Small glitch: I tried to log out, and got rebooted instead -- to some bad state where I had to reboot again, into init 3. From there I used startxfce4 again; I may edit my grub.conf (or whatever serves as one now) to make the init 3 permanent. I don't think I've needed a startx command since the early days of RH7; I'd all but forgotten it existed. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
