Hi guys, Anyone know any good books/documentation and or web sites to start with? I have Suse Linux 8.1 Thanks in advance!!

Hi guys, First of all, I just wanna let you guys know that I'm a new linux user, so bear with the question. I had installed Linux 8.1 in a multiboot environment, windows 2000. Both os boot up fine, I have no trouble getting into windows 2000. For Linux, I was fine until I manually updated the system through the Yast configuration. Once it was updated, the two thigs that required for me to do was 1) execute /sbin/lilo which I think I did, I just went into the home directory and look for the path and clicked on the file /sbin/lilo. 2) Required for me to download the latest nvidia driver, which I didn't do. Once I rebooted all I was getting was the post looking like thing, which gave the done and failed status, right after that it doesn't prompt me to the GUI that I used to get, where it asks for the user name, password and the selection of modes. Now I only get is the command lines where it asks for the user name and password, once I enter them, the GUI doesn't appear but just the command line. How do I get the GUI back without having to rebuild it? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks again for the quick reply and explanation. You have been very helpful.

Thanks for the help!! But what I ended up doing was rebuilding Linux. Yes, you were right, I didn't update the system, it was the online update. By the way i have an nvidia geforce 64mb. I want to rebuild it and update it online the right way this time (I chose ALL the options on the online update), that's the reason why I chose to rebuild it, I'm pretty sure that I chose something that made it go into that mode, so, thanks again for the reply... just curious, is there something (on the online update) that I shouldn't update that can make it go unstable?
