There are a number of ways to reboot or halt the computer. I will suggest one that I think might be most appropriate for you. Sounds like you are using xdm for logging in. I believe gdm and/or kdm provide a little menu on the "login" screen that let you reboot or halt the machine. xdm does not. Solution: use gdm or kdm. HowTo: apt-get install gdm ( or apt-get install kdm) Note: If you are already using gdm or kdm but see no reboot or halt option, then you need to reconfigure them. For example try "dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm". If this does not work, you can configure gdm with its own gui: "gdmconfig" (sorry don't know about kdm). Cheers, Nick. PS. Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot if you are at one of the consoles (Ctrl-Alt-n, where n is 1-6). PPS. Ctrl-Alt-7 should get you back to X. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.6.0-test3-looxt93c1 i686 GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
