Hi, My machine (Compaq Presario) has both XP and linux on it. I boot linux via floppy. My version of linux is advanced server 2.4.9-e.3. When I type in command startx at the linux console it comes with a message unknown host, problem parsing the config file and no screens found. My init is entering runlevel 5 which I presume is right. I am not able to send the log file as I do not know how to access and where to access the linux log file from Windows XP. My hostname looks weird and is something like this X1-6-00-10-dc-ea-a3-c9. Would really appreciate if someone could help me in figuring out this startx problem. Thanks a lot. Ramesh. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
