Having booting problems
I booted up my SUSE ver 10.1 linux box today. Went to the DOS-type login. Failed to display KDE.
I understand this has something to do with levels. But how do I change the default? I know zero about Vi (and don't need to learn it). How do I get the system to boot to KDE again?
Best regards,
Dick...
