The original poster had said that he was a newbie to Linux. I do no think he would know how to pass arguments at boot time (also he has not specified his boot loader).

It sometimes gets really maddening locating configuration files unless you know the Linux file system moderately well. The point I am trying to make is that instead of making off-the-cuff answers to questions from newbies, the more expert people should take time to put a bit more thought into the answers and tone (or dumb) down the answers so that newbies have less problem in understanding the answer. Pointers to man and info pages (with hints on how to invoke them) are also useful. -- / \__ ( @\___ Raj Shekhar / O My home : http://geocities.com/lunatech3007/ / (_____/ My blog : http://lunatech.journalspace.com/ /_____/ U _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
