Ok, so while my gf was at work today I put my Toshiba laptop HD in to the Vaio V505. I did the HD install and it was all good. I used Grub and it booted twice with no problems.

I then transfered the HD back to the toshiba and it boots! I see the Grub and i select the default DSL.

Then the trouble starts... I am getting this message, "xauth: error in locking authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority" four time.

I then type in xsetup.sh at the promp as instructed, but now i'm at the dsl@console[dsl]$ and i have no idea what todo now...

can anyone throw me another bone?

Thanks, Timmay

I've been told the best way to learn is to explain it to someone else in front of "experts". People who are knowledgable (and sometimes even if they're not!) on a topic will soon tell you if you're wrong, and love you for the opportunity to either show their prowess or make jokes at your expense!
