Hello Mark and othersl,

As mentioned in other past post I am able to boot INTO linux with my
setup now!  But I am able to do this because I type /dev/sda6 in at a
prompt "boot(): that Grub gives to me, ONCE I do that I am in the
system!  NOW after the install is done, I have problem with geting
Xorg to work, as mouse and video does not work right at less this is
what the report says.  I would give you the files but don't know how
to get them om my windows hd from with then linux, if any one can help
with that I would be greatful

Sincerely,
Christopher
