Problem with Redhat on WinXP

Hi Lenard,

Thanks for your reply. I was able to follow the steps all the way till the
"chconfig --levels 345 kudzu off". However, when I do that, i got the
following message:

-bash: chconfig: command not found

This is what I typed:

[root@localhost root]# chconfig --level 345 kudzu off

I also tried something like this:
[root@localhost root]# chkconfig --level 345 kudzu off

There's no error this time but nothing happened after that either.

Did I typed the correct command?

Thanks again.

Sorry my mistake, the command should be;

chkconfig --level 345 kudzu off


Also in the future please consider;

This was the correct text. Now to see if it worked you type;

chkconfig --list kudzu

You should see all run levels set to off

Hi Lenard,
I've spotted another problem and wonder if you can help me with it. After
turning off the kudzu service, Redhat seems to run fine in the command
prompt mode. However, when I tried to run startx, vmware player hangs again.
Any idea why is that so?

Hi Robert,

Yup, all run levels have been set to off alright. However, when I typed
startx at the command prompt, I would go into the startup screen whereby
Redhat would freeze after the CD-device handler is loaded. Any idea why is
that so?

Regards,
Roger

Most likely there is a conflict happening, Windows might be attempting to
automount/start the media. It maybe a good idea to check your Windows
settings for this.

I see. Btw, any idea which part of Windows should I look into to check for
this?

You should really ask this Windows question in a Windows newsgroup, but as a
suggestion get TweakUI and use it from the Control Panel after installation
to stop this action;
