The machine came up after the install, asked me to create a new user name/password; when I put in the same as the old, it reported that it had found a user folder with that name and did I want to take possession of that folder - answering yes produces a pause as the permissions and rights are reset, and then the machine came right up. X is running perfectly now - presumably, I'm up on the nouveau driver. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA |
