Over the last two weeks I have installed RedHat Linux 5.1 and all the
updates. When I tried to start Xwindows today all I got was a gray screen
and an "X" for my mouse cursor. I ran Xconfigurator again, but nothing
changed. Any ideas would be appreciated.
#2. I am dual-booting RH Linux and Win95 on a stand alone machine with only
a modem dailup to the internet. My question is: What services do I need to
start when Linux boots? Right now my system seem to hang when starting
sendmail and smp. When I installed Linux, I installed "everything" because
I wasn't sure what I needed and what I didn't. Suggestions as to what
isn't need would be helpful. I'm willing to even do a complete reinstall
with only the needed packages if someone would be willing to give me some
guidance off list.
Thanks in advance
Kent
