hi
today i set about customising my ubuntu install. i uninstalled evolution e-mail client &replaced it with thunderbird everything seemed ok
but alas the system rebooted or something &was stuck on the splash screen when i returned from work
i rebooted to dual-boot selection screen &noticed 2 of everything except the windows xp sel. line
tried to enter -no luck
go to edit the kernel &add previous fix to enter &load to log-in
log-in ok
the backgroud pops up BLANK what have i done by removing the evolution program ????
how do i repair ??????
thanks lyle:confused:
