Did I kill e-d-s etc. by exiting from the gui environment, or is that not enough? (I may have rebooted after the restore, I don't remember). Frankly, I'd be more comfortable (in the future with this sort of thing) just getting out of gnome than having to remember or look up which processes to kill, especially since I read on the list that this changes in different releases. I'd appreciate your further insights in this matter.
