10. Troubleshooting

10.1 Temporary files

If something goes wrong early in the installation, you might find that some installation files have been left on your hard disk. These will be in a directory named

C:\BLUEINST

It is always safe to delete this directory, whether from within DOS, Windows or Linux.

10.2 X server hangs

If you don't correctly choose your hardware (for example you specify an incorrect mouse type or port), the X server may hang on startup and not run normally. If this occurs, you can always shut down the X server by typing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Backspace>.

10.3 Installing a new X server

If your first choice of X server is incorrect, you can install a new X server by logging in as root and typing:

remove_xserver

Then follow the instructions in section Installing the X server.
