212661 2004-02-05 04:41:00 John: If you typed telinit 3 and bash complained that telenit didn't exist, one of you can't spell. :D

Howver, if you did "su" without the " -", that would explain why it couldn't be found: you'ld be still using your account's path, not the root path. System type commands like init (which is what telinit points to)aren't in the default user path. (I think it's in /sbin, so you could try "/sbin/telinit 3" -- locate telinit should find it.)

It's a waste of time and disk space .

If they try to provoke such nonsense, just ignore them .

212665 2004-02-05 05:18:00 Get a grip,I applaud the concept behind Linux,the people who have coded Linux and the users who dedicate time to learning and using Linux.Following the progress of people using Linux has proved to be quite interesting over the last few months

MS on the other hand I hope get what they deserve.

However,All this work to update a gui is ridicules(not to say people shouldn't do it or shouldn't enjoy doing it)

You wont know til you've tried it :-)

If you run Fedora, you can leave off the teli/e part and just write:
init 3
Just saves on spelling errors ;-)


Chill.

Yeah,ive got a box running linux,Much to my surprise i don't partucly like it or feel the need to use it over one of my windows boxes .

And in the ultimate show of shallowness,I find every linux system/desktop/gui i have looked at to be ugly .

212669 2004-02-05 20:53:00 w00t after fighting thorough all those dependincies, i am now running kde 3.2! ilikelinux (1418)
212670 2004-02-06 00:42:00 WooHoo, mine is going now too, thanks to Jen C's careful instructions and subsequent clarification about init from others.

Only had three failed dependcies - qt-designer; qt-MySQL; and qt-OBDC all needed lib files that I couldn't find, so I bailed out and removed those three rpms from the KDE-3.2 directory, dived back into root and the installation was smooth as after that.

So thank you all for your help. Another lesson learned.
