[TriLUG] unable to boot up in run level 5

[John J. Cruz]

Ben,

Thanks for your help.  Your suggestion is an obvious one that I should
have though off.  But as Linux boots up the message displayed come to a
stop for 20 seconds initiated by linuxconf that didn't exist before its
installation. At the end of this interval the next message displayed
states /etc/telinit 3.  After logging in as a user I enter at the prompt
startx to enter the window manager Ximian Desktop which happens.

Is it possible to have two linuxconf installed?
