Bleah i know this is going to be simple. but how do i exit graphical mode and quit X? I've tried "init 3" but it doesnt seem to work. I'm using Knoppix 3.3.

Yeah you'll definetly want a nicer CPU/mobo combo before you upgrade your video card.

alright, well i got it all packed up ready to ship back, just gotta wait till morning when the ups store is open :/. now i gotta figure out how to get my old computer back up so i have something to use when my dad gets home D:
