Hello, I'll just tackle the problem of being able to log in (and also some advice on the "should I reinstall?" mentality) and leave the X configuration question for another post. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a console login prompt. Log in as root. Create a new user with adduser. log out. Alt+F7. log in as your normal user account (the one you just created). Once you're installed, you don't have to reinstall many times. All of the things that the installer did for you can be done again on a running system without a reinstall (or usually even a reboot). If you remember being asked a question during install and wish you had answered it differently, ask us here, and we'll be able to tell you how to reconfigure your already-running system without reinstalling it. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.eff.org/
