Okay, i do not have anyone who can teach me hand son about linux, and so im still stumbling along. I cannot access the file with another computer because i cannot save it as a txt file. This is what i was going to do: save my log as a txt file, copy it to a floppy, bring it to a windows machine, boot it up and email it to you. Sadly, i do not know how to save it as a txt file. Any help there. I know about emacs and vi (im better with emacs), but thye dont appear to have a "save as" function in terminal mode. -Jonathan --- Michael Taylor <michael.taylor@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Jonathan McLean wrote: > > > Also, i brought my XF86COnfig-4 file back to its > > supposedly original setup and normally it would > boot > > startx and the mac monitor wouldnt work.
