Problems with rawhide 20060213

[John (J5) Palmieri]

Hmm,  first you should be booting into run level 3 instead of
modifying /etc/X11/prefdm to boot into the command line.  At that point
you can update your NVIDIA drivers and then run init 5 to start X.  I
have also been informed that there has been a recent bug in Rawhide
which prevents D-Bus from starting.  Run this to see if it helps:

sed -i -e 's@/etc/X11/gdm@/etc/gdm@' /etc/gdm/custom.conf
