(...) Hmmmm, crap. That isn't working. Either one. I installed switchdesk and I select KDE but no matter what I always get Gnome and Enlightenment. I also tried doing the above as root - same thing. :( Oh well, I'll keep trying. Gotta get sshd (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Hrmmm... (...) Yeah, I hadn't ever installed RH (and Mandrake won't install here) on a dual processor system, so I didn't get to see it pick.

(...) I assume it comes with several precompiled since it gave me choices including i386, i586, i686, with both single processor and SMP. I know it is booting an i686 SMP kernel now. (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) The package is called 'switchdesk'. You can also change the system-wide default by doing this (as root): echo KDE > /etc/sysconfig/desktop or echo GNOME > /etc/sysconfig/desktop (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm not sure how MSWin deals with this.... not my field. :) But a key point in the linux world is: the bit that as to be within the first 1024 cylinders is the beginning of the kernel. That means that if your kernel is on a partition that (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) errr... just curious (since I know nothing about turbo-linux) - doesn't it run stock kernels? or does it come with several precompiled (like redhat shipping with an smp and a non smp one)? :) Dan (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) [scheme snipped] Yes, you will run into problems that way. Lilo can only boot kernels in the first 1024 cylinders of a drive. (This is the BIOS's fault, not Lilo's.)
