Well, you _should_ be able to go to a text console by typing CTRL+ALT+F1 (F1 to F6 should all work). Then login as root and you can do something like: aptitude remove gdm && aptitude install xdm I don't know what your actual problem is though. Perhaps gnome-session is not installed (if there is such a package)?? good luck zen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
