Another option, drop to single user mode, hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a console screen, log in as root, then run `telinit s` and that should get you back to single user mode. When you're done, `telinit 3` to get back to multi-user mode. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
