Re: [LI] Keyboard ,GPM Nightmares Pleeeeeeeeeeease help, IBM Apiva got screwed Up
thank you Arun,
i managet to get it this time byt my problems are not
yet over.
i again formatted the disk and loaded linux(genome
workstation). then created a partition for windows in
/mnt( i was under the impression that i will be able
to mount windows later. after that i uninstalled lilo
by using lili -u.
now the problems are
1. i still am using a boot disk to load linux( this
problem is minor)
2. when booting i always got to boot in the
interactive mode to stop the GPM and netconfig daemon
which were the causes of the problems. i want to know
how to make sure that these services dont start when i
boot.
3.i am unable to configure xwindows using
xconfigurator because every time i rin this my
keyboard and mouse hang and i have to press
ctrl+alt+F2 to login as root again and kill the
process(xconfigurator).
please help me on how to go about this.
thank you
Ashok
