Who's running Yelp? I was suggesting aliasing "help" to print a helpful message telling the clueless user what he could do.  Just off the top of my head: $ help If you'd like to start the windowing system, type:     /etc/init.d/gdm restart If the windowing system doesn't appear to work, you can try re-configuring it:     dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg If you want to find out more on how to use the command line:     man man Is there any manpage that gives an introduction to the command line?     - Scott -- ubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div> -- + Nick
