I am new to linux. I installed Knoppix 3.6 to my HD. It worked great. I was experiementing with the power, (this is a Laptop) and lost power while Knoppix was running on HD. The next time it booted, it went to the terminal login. I could login, but no x win. I played around with it, booted from the CD, went in under root and ran fsck on the /dev/hda1 among some other things. I don't know what I did that fixed it, I tried booting it again on the HD and it worked and went into X11. So I keep playing around with it and loose power again, and now I can't get it to go into X11 anymore. I tried the startx command, I can't remember exactly what it said, but it wouldn't run.
It was my understanding that fsck is like scandisk, so that is why I ran it thinking that something was messed up in the journaling or something on my ext3 partition.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated!!
