Re: problem starting gnome

[Garrett Mickelson <garrett penguincomputing com>]

It seems you answered Yes to the questions during the install pertaining
to replacing all of your X init scripts. Did you make a back up of
/etc/X11 as is recommended by the install script? If not then you are
out of luck. I'm not too sure how to get out of that mess myself. 

Good luck,

Garrett
