Re: X config problem causes me to have reinstall entire OS--!!newbie warning!!



I think this kind of stuff would really do good to the debian
configuration. There's a lot of msg's at startup I cannot view with neither
dmesg nor with cat /var/log/syslog.
It's quite simple to implement (well, windows does that).
We should be able to go step-by-step from the very begining of the boot
process.
I'm posting a copy to debian-devel. Please, somebody correct the address
and repost this msg, if debian-devel@lists.debian.org ain't the right
address.

When lilo comes up you can hit <tab>.  Then type "linux single" and you
will get a root prompt.
