Hi Paul, > I rebooted and sure enough, all I got was a login prompt; No GUI. > I yum > installed the kernel-module-nvidia... package and rebooted again, Can I run "yum update" etc. on "init 3" (without GUI) because my AMD64 box always hung on GUI. If "YES" whether running "pppoeconf" on "init 3" to make network connectiong. How to bring up NIC, "ifup eth0" or "service network config"? There is only one NIC on the box. I'll disable the onboard LAN and Sound which cause lot of trouble. TIA B.R. SL
