Well that sux. How did you "misconfigure" everything anyways? The problem I run into is that most of it installs correctlyand I dont have to correct anything, nothing major. I seem to read and dig a lot more when I've got "problems" to defeat. Did you manually misconfigure it all and then just put all of it together to make one wacked up version of Linux? Are there any resources out there that have a list of all configuration files? I'm having trouble disiphering the types of files... windows has extensions... this is just plain text. Thanx for the help
