Hi, thank you all so much for the replies. Desperated, I reinstalled Linux on my PC. I learned a lesson and a lot of knowledge from you all. But now I could not boot to my NT partition. I run fdisk and see clearly NTFS partition is there and marked as bootable (that *). I also added an entry under /etc/lilo.conf
others = /dev/hda1 label = dos But I get the msg: "image not found" when I type "dos" at lilo. During the reinstallation, I noticed my NT partition didnt appear when the program asked me about boot partition labels. Can I still add that manually? thanks a looooooooooooooot Ben On Sat, 28 Oct 2000, Heather wrote: > > Bryan, thanks a lot for reply. > > I tried to set the permission to the new /tmp to 777. startx as root, > > still get the same result. the error msg are as followed: > > It needs to also be sticky: > chmod +t /tmp > > > _Font TransSocketUNIXConnect - can't connect:error=111 > > failed to set default path 'unix/:-1' > > Fatal server error > > could not open default font 'fixed' > > > > I also install the font server but still the same.
