Let me ask you...

This forum has helped me in the past and I appreciate it. I just got started (again) with Linux Mint. I did an install of COSV, the Commodore OS which is a shell running mint 10. The first time I tried to install COSV the thing would hang after going through the install process to displaying the Commodore logo. After hitting ctrl alt delete a Linux Mint terminal screen was displayed showing the Commodore OS was successfully installed and it came to a prompt asking for my password which I did. After entering it the "ready" prompt was displayed. It was suggested at that point to enter "sudo rm -rf /tmp/.x11-unix" which I did and it booted to COS! I was going to enter "sudo reboot" but rebooted w/o the command. All things are fine and booted many times OK. Then several days later I had to do a fresh install of the Commodore OS. I went through the same install process but now I cannot get the thing to boot to the Commodore OS. After I enter the first sudo command it comes to a ready prompt instead of booting. When I enter the reboot command it does boot to COS for a few seconds then the screen goes blank and the PC goes back to the dual boot screen asking to boot to W7 or COS. Then the whole process begins again. The sudo rm -rf /tmp/.x11-unix command worked on the initial COS install but now it does not work/fix my problem. Ideas? Thank you
