Thomas Lee S. Lecturer St. Thomas College Pala, India Dear sir, I am new to linux and using redhat linux 9. I installed some multimdeia and office appliaction of redhat linux 8.0. after that i could not logon to kde desktop. when i try to login from the graphical window, a message appears "could not start kdeinit" then it asks for a fail safe login. but i dont know what to do after that. can i restore my earlier linux. also when i shutdown a message appears to be failed. ie "sm client failed". Expecting your help i can login to gnome desktop although i cant use it for net browsing. when i try to connect using kppp a message appears as DOCP server failed. i can get connection but the windows gets hanged.
