Hello, Thanks for your feedback at the last MUUG meeting about the problem I had with Control+C droping someone to a shell prompt in the forst TTY. I had a google group thread here if you want to read/respond there: http://groups.google.ca/group/ubuntu_lite/browse_thread/thread/11b044eeebe0a... I changed the line in /etc/inittab from: 1:2345:respawn:/bin/bash -login > /dev/tty1 2>&1 < /dev/tty1 to: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 and that solves to problem of getting to a shell but now X Windows doesn't start. I don't fully understand what the orig line is doing and I think that's my problem. Any help would be appreciated. -Montana "When I give, I give myself.” -Walt Whitman *** If your email looks like it's a forward and not a personally composed email, I may not get time to read it.
