The prompt is something you choose, usually in a .bash_profile or .bashrc file. I'm suspecting that you signed in as some user account, instead of the all-powerful root. Type "whoami" at the prompt. If it's anything but root, that explains the problem here: > When I try to start the xf86config I get no such file, But I know > its there I just installed it. Can someone help with this???? If you aren't root, type "su root" at the prompt, then at the password prompt the root password you chose during the installation process. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
