As I mentioned in my previous posting, I
now have a 486sx33 with 8mb of =
ram and a 3.6 gb hardisk running Red Hat
6. I have managed to get X =
installed ok but it seems to crash on
loading kfm using the kde window =
manager and x 3.3.3.1 or something.
I have has other problems but =
managed to fix them i have included details
to either help others or to =
get advice on how I should have fixed them as
the methods I used are not =
exactlly by the book.
Anyway I think
there is a way to direct output from start x to an log =
file for
troubleshooting etc, does anyone know what this is
something
like
startx >log however there is slightly more to it.
My
video card is a cirrus logic 5428,
Yep it's old hardware,
If you
can help with this then I can send you the output file. =20
My original
problem was it crashed earlier saying it could not find the =
./root/Desktop
and /Desktop/Template directory so I copied them from
./home/paul
and this fixed it,=20
I think I may be pushing my luck and hardware by
running kde.
At present I have created a user called paul with no
password but just =
can't login
I have used linuxconf, useradd and
adduser, I have had this problem =
before under x but managed to create a
user under console mode as root,=20
I am not sure what I am doing wrong,
I generally create a user with no =
password then add one using the passwd
command as this seems more =
reliable, but I should not have to do this,
(however I will try as =
writing this has just reminded me of
this)=20
Thanks for any help.
One last note, I should be getting
the Red Hat Linux unleashed book =
shortly so I will have a useful
reference for both my self and if any =
other member of the group wants help,
I can look stuff up for people.
Bye=20
