Anyway I have one question. I went through the install and was sucessful with everything except that me CD Drive is a NEC or NCR. The CDrom Drive works fine but the book says to unload any unused daemonds from the kernal. The problem is I do not know what one to leave in since my drive is not listed in the list. Is there an easy or smart way to find out if it is in fact one of the ones on the list or should I just unload and load until I find the one that is working?? Also I setup Xwindows but when I reboot the systems goes into the comand shell and I do not know how to start Xwindows?? Thanks If anyone has the time to answer these 2 questions.
