So do chkconfig --list xfs from the command line and the output should look like the follwoing: xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off If it is not set to on in 5 then do a chkconfig xfs on and then repeat the command to see if it is. Also if you want to use the gdm then go to /etc/sysconfig and edit desktop and put the following lines in the file: DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOME Good luck John -- Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
