after installing fc7 on one partition i am now unable to bring up x server of PCLinuxOS which was my primary os before this. it boots up and then stops at localhost login. i type in my user id and password but still cannot into the graphical interface. what gives?!

Did you copy over the /boot/grub/menu.lst info from PCLOS? I'm dual-booting several versions of it with no problems. Easy solution is to boot Knoppix, access PCLOS menu.lst and then copy it into Fedora's /boot/grub/grub.conf Be sure to adjust your drive/partition information if it's been altered with the new Fedora install.

BTW, not to pass the buck but, this is really something that can be checked at PCLOS's Forum: http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?o..._smf&Itemid=58 since the boot problem really is within PCLOS, not Fedora.
