Too late.

I reinstalled belenix again. Everythings gone fine.I can now boot into any
hard disk i want and 'statkde' works fine. Although i will try the 'tab'
trick the next time i reboot and let you know.

Now a couple more queries:
a) is there any 'autorun.bat' equivalent for solaris, where i can add the
line 'startkde' ?
b) I cannot configure the network, kde complains that the platform is not
supported and i get a list of supported devices. I have a dataone broadband
connectection ADSL modem. It is identified as 'eth0' on my linuxes.

Regards
Anil
