Is this what happens?:
You boot your computer You see bootsplash You get the boot loader menu You select Linux (and it loads) You get a shell prompt You type startx You get a mess of Windows and Linux
Summary: M$ Windows has a Safe Mode, where all the extra VXDs and Startup Group Items don't load. Is there an equivelent for Safe Mode in Linux (for troubleshooting, etc.)? Thanks ...
