Hi, Thanks to those who answered some questions of mine some days ago. I have now tried several variations upon several themes in order to get debian (v. 3.0) on my laptop (HP pavilion ze4600), and had gotten a stable command line version running. I thereupon started X via startx which caused for some reason first a KDE setup dialog to appear (everything freezes) and after a reboot a gnome login dialog (again, everything freezes). I presume that the configuration of X is completely wrong so that I have no ability to use keyboard or touch pad. Is there a boot setting for the debian rescue boot (using a 3.0 DVD) that will prevent X from starting so that I will be able to change the settings of X? Any other ideas?
Thanks Peter
