No, all you have to do (if you're using lilo) is hold the shift at boot and then type "linux single" at the prompt. This will boot to single user mode, then you can edit /etc/init.d/xdm to *not* start xdm at boot. Then you reboot (or just exit the single user shell), log in and fix the problem with your X setup, and test it by running X directly. If everything's kosher, undo your changes to /etc/init.d/xdm, and run /etc/init.d/xdm start. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
