Unhappy Can't access suse
Tried to boot into system and window opens saying: "could not start kdeinit. Check your installation".

Pressed ok and prompted to enter username and password>ok but then it says "have lots of fun" followed by another prompt. whatever i put in is responded to by "-bash : command not found"

Do I have to re-install?

p.s. Never had to log in before; normally goes straight into gui and I was away!
