kdeinit not loading (JAMD w/KDE 3.1 & GRUB 0.93)
 
During the process of installing and removing some packages with Synaptic, kdeinit somehow got screwed up and now KDE won't load up. When I start my computer, I can get to the GRUB screen, but if I try booting my OS (JAMD Linux (2.4.20-9)), JAMD will go through the text-based startup sequence, but when it attempts to start KDE, the screen flickers between black and black with the hourglass mouse pointer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

(NOTE: while messing around with Synaptic, I attempted to install the GNOME packages which, for all I know, worked fine. So, theoretically, I have GNOME installed on my box as well as KDE. One thought I had was to get to the command line from GRUB (somehow), load GNOME, and somehow fix my KDE install. Any ideas?)

anyone?
 
Does anyone have any ideas?!?! I'm having to use Gnopix just to get online while my comfortable, familiar JAMD setup lies under a shroud of kde brokeness! Help!
