== I've now spent 2 hours on the phone with a Prog designer friend who knows more prog languages than anybody, and he is flummoxed. He is VERY busy and will turn up tue or wed. NOTHING he tried worked, cannot get into shell or command line. He double checked on his own laptop with Linux on it and that worked. The frisbies are as clean as a whistle and do boot up. == and I will reinstall, reformat do a manual and see and after that do it again in custom. Re-install, sounds like one ?possible? option.

Needs reinstall I would think. == That makes sense. Perhaps also needs a Bios update. Having run through an install several times already I could try a format and install. Did not re-format before and that might have left some duds on the partition it did not over-write. The PCI bus lacks a driver I just found. > By the way, get back to gnome with ctrl-alt F7. == DOES not work. > success, == After a week of 18 hours a day? > Henk > > > -- > Psyche-list mailing list > Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
