nosebleed......aha! That's really worth knowing - thanks!
Ok, I have just tried Peters suggestion and it does NOT work. Still no virtual Terminals.
Then Mr Nosebleed comes up with the startx in .bash_profile. I can't find any .bash_profile in my DSL system.
I might have deleted it...
Still no virtual terminals up here...
I'll dive into that .bash_profile stuff on a Knoppix CD and copy it to my private-DSL distro.
Thanks for the ideas!
