i have dual booting xp & suse 9.1 laptop. it loads suse then come to a login screen where i am asked for a name and password. i didnt set this up and dont know why it did. if i press ctrl-alt f7 i can go into what i i presume is an xwindows screen where i am again asked for name + password i give them my name and password and i can get into my files but i cant do it in the GUI way. f anyone knows how the login option could be turned of in the GUI window through the xwindow way i d appreciate it. cheers. blue

You were probably set to auto-login to kde. You must have set a password to install linux. When you press ctrl-alt-f7 that username and login is what you type into the kdm login screen. If the login screen is text based after logging in type startx or startx kde HTH

i downloaded turbolinux because they say its pentium 4 compatable and i made a bootable data cd with nero and when i boot it up it starts but stops loading and says Dr.Dos a:> i dont have a floppy hard drive in my computer is there a way that i can install turbolinux with out a floppy disk and i was also wondering is there a software program that will make a bootable turbolinux cd with out having to use a floppy because i dont think that nero's bootable data disk doesent work to boot up operating systems and if there isent a way for me to do that could someone tell me how to get and make a bootable floppy for turbolinux i would sure love to get off this windows xp and start useing turbolinux im sick of windows it sucks

mcminimy: You burned the CD wrong. You want to select "burn image" from the nero flie menu and point it at the .iso image, that will automatically create a bootable CD. pat: Are you trying to login as root? Try a regular user.

What error do you get when trying to login graphically?
