HD Install :: How to keep X from loading
Success!
BTW, why are all of these system files hidden from emelfm?
The more I use Linux, the more I realize how awsome it is!
system files aren't generally hidden in Linux...they just have permissions set so that normal users can't modify or delete them.
Hidden files (dot files...those files whose names begin with a dot) are usually personal configuration files. They are hidden just because there are a lot of them and it's not necessary to view them during day-to-day work. It's just for convenience that they're hidden.
