Hello,

I'm taking a security class this semester and I'm dual booting RH9 and
Windows Server 2k3.  The machine is a PII 333 MHZ 356M RAM HDD's are 8G
and 3G.  I have the 3G partitioned as NTFS,  The 8G has a 500M NTFS.  The
Linux partition is on the remainder of the 8G drive.  The root directory
is ~5250M, hone is 1600M and 256 swap.  The hone and root are ext3.
Everything seems to start fine but RH9 only boots to the local host screen
and does not start the RH9 login gui.  Windows boots to Server 2K3.  I'm
fairly new to Linux, so bare with me.  I ran 'telinit 0' to shut down and
then restarted.  I logged in to the local host and tried to run 'startx'
the system output mentioned that I shoud report problems to XFree86. org.
Also, what should I look for in the Xfree86.0.log file.  I'll try and send
a copy of that file if I dont become everwhelmed with the two classes I'm
tkaing.
