Well its not Windows, but I opted for the reinstall. KDM was not loading and when I changed inittab from id:5 to id:4 only one user could log in from text mode. Than startx would bring up a really ugly gui in German. It was time to pull the plug!

This time I'm going with the Debian style install.

Now once it is up, I need to figure out the Nvidia driver thing for my Gforce4 MMX card.

Thanks
