That worked! I didn't see the option to boot into Gnome. Later I will reboot that computer and see if it is in the logon screen but it seems to have totally integrated into my Gnome programs. This means I will not need or want grub on that machine. However I am going to check out that

<br>This will install many files. Once it is done you will need to logout of your computer. Then on the screen that has your login name and password there is an option to pick with session you wish to use. Just select "Gnome" or "KDE" depending which one you want.
<br><br>As for Grub and startup your right this is not what you are looking for. Go to <a href="http://www.tldp.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.tldp.org</a> (tldp a.k.a. "The Linux Documentation Project". There are many howto for just about all aspects of linux. Warning though alot of the howto's are old. So checking for more recent docs of any particular program or setup would be good. Google is your friend here. Also, just to let you know since Ubuntu
6.10 the old "/etc/inittab" file for boot up is gone. Now, Ubuntu uses "Startup", again Google. <br><br>Hope this helps.<br><br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
