Ok, may I assume you're a newbie in linux? When something goes wrong with X (simplifying, the linux graphical mode) try closing X first. You can 1) restart X: type ctrl-alt-backspace 2) Go to a text-mode window and see if machine is still responding You can do this by typing CTRL-ALT-FX, where FX is from F1 to F6 in Fedora. When you are on one of those windows, log is as root and type: telinit 3, wait for stuff happen and type enter. This way you have a linux without X enabled at this time. Is easier see what's wrong. Once you're in text-mode, just type xinit. It will load X, without anything else, like gnome. In fact, you'll have mouse and a graphic terminal. If you reached this step, type exit and return to text-mode. You will have some output from X, maybe there's something useful on it. If it doesn't, type startx - it will load X, but with gnome or kde. If this is ok, your problem is with something else, a package called GDM. Then, you will need to repair the gdm package. > When I turn on the computer the next time, booting > went well, doing starting utilities and so on until it > stop right before the log-in screen.

Are your cd and floppy drives damaged? You can always set boot order in your BIOS setup. Maybe it's possible to boot from cd and repair some things... -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group
