Hi All, Thank you for the answers to the graphical boot. I chose the /etc/sysconfig/init solution from Mr. Dalloz. Worked like a charm. Now I have one last question. I have just installed fedora core 2 (I have also completed one huge yum update and rebooted after) and the up2date icon registers 6 more updates yet when I go to check with either yum or up2date they both reply my system is fully updated. Would anyone have any ideas as to why this occurs? Again thanks in advance, Phil
