Hi Michael, Thanks for your advice.
My PC config as follows ======================= CPU - Athlon 2.1G RAM - 512MB Graphic card - WinFast GeForce2 MX Memory - 32MB OS - RH8.0 I think I can use "AMD64". If I am wrong please correct me. I am not very experienced on "vi". Most time I use "mc" (midnight commander) for text editing. Anyway I will go through "vitutor" later. I know how to toggle between Init2 and Init5 after login, not booting straight to Init2 by changing "/etc/inintab" Is there a simple way to boot straight to Init2 without changing "/etc/inintab? Thanks B.Regards Stephen On Tue, 2003-08-26 at 01:31, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >I am running CPU Athol 2.1G and the Graphic card has 32MB memory.
