Two Questions...

[jjjj]

When I first installed Mandrake 7.2 I had it set up so the it boot up into the default user in X. The last time I went into it it only booted to command line asking for user and pass. So how can I get back to it having X as the default or at least get into X from the command Line. Yes I suck at the command line I havent had time to learn it yet.

Also I am making a website and wanted to know if anybody uses any message boards on thier site. Is there any good message boards out there that are easy to install, and free, and tell me how to install it??? Also one that works well with konqurer and Netscape, and any other Linux browser.

Thanks for the help.

This should help you learn at least a little command line...

"startx" should be of particular interest...

have fun.

Go to www.cgi-resources.com, (http://www.cgi-resources.com,) you can find many different message boards there. They come with instructions and documentation (some more than others).

In the /etc/ directory, you will find a file named inittab.

Look for the line that says id:3:initdefault: Change it to id:5:initdefault: to have your system automatically boot into X.. . .or, when you type in your "username" and "password" you could type " init 5" ( without the quotes) and it would boot you to the gui login screen.

And the question is also answered in the 'Booting into GUI' NHF and in the FAQ's here.

Always good to know there are places you can look first to save yourself some time.
