ooops
uhm i don't know what i did, but i know that computers don't just randomly
do stuff... anyhow mine seems to have... here's my new problem... i'm no
longer concerned about getting the proper screen resolution (cause that's
less important now) than i am about getting Linux to display again... it
does nice and fine as it boots up, no problems until the login screen... CLI
logon is there for a split second and then nothing but this little clicking
sound... more like a miniature *pop* every few seconds... 2
Ctrl-Alt-Delete's later and i get more CLI going through the reboot stage...
little error message, (and i quote): "error writing to file /etc/mtab.tmp :
insufficient space" or something like that, i tried to write it down, but it
moves fast... and before you ask let me tell you, i tried to switch to
another terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F(n) (with n of course being a number either
1-7) and voila, an amazing black screen... also i dual-boot this system and
right now am writing an e-mail from the Win98 boot (seperate HDD's) any
ideas? mayhaps i should reformat the drive again and install all over?
thanks for your time and expertise...
