Backing up The hours of Updates
Okay this is question #2 for me...
Okay linux "died" and i don't wanna spend the time to fix it, so i wanna re-install. Trouble is, rh9 doesn't get updates anymore. I'd like to save the updates i d/led to a cd through knoppix. My problem originally was that when i start up, i get the normal text-login that is supposed to quickly switch to x-server. But when it switches, it's all garbled, and switched back and fourth until i re-start. well, i know all my drivers are good and stuff, cause knoppix works great with auto-detect settings. with vesa driver and everything, and so did rh9. What's weird is that i just stuck in the knoppix cd and my sound randomly was detected and worked for the first time ever in knoppix or rh.
What i have already tried is re-configuring x-server, but it fails. I can't even text-based login to root with ctrl-alt-f1.
My final question is should i just migrate to fedora 2? Which already has alsa installed and 2.6 kernel?
Thanks to anyone who can help!
oh yeah i need to put my system specs... i guess i'll put them in my sig so i never have to type it again!
