WELL, I don't know what to say. I just put the HD in the PC turned
it on and was waiting for the blue screen so I could login as root and
type 'init 3'. BUT, guess what happened. A tiny clock appeared at the
top left followed by a log in screen and here I am. Happened very
quickly. A few seconds. Now, do I dare log out and try to get back or
just wait for a reply from you. Yesterday I never did init 3 either.
Maybe it is the Easter Bunny. I don't know. I'm a bit apprehensive about
shutting off and trying again. What's your opinion?
