The password works, right? Or not? When you type exit, after single user mode (which is what that singlo is) the machine boots normally--that is, it doesn't reboot, it exits out of single user mode and starts running all the other stuff that runs on a normal boot. BTW, it's considered better on most Unix and Unix like lists to use inline, rather than top posting. In line is where you answer paragraph A below paragraph A, etc. Otherwise it's like A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? While I'm lecturing--I figure giving you an answer gets me some leeway--:) It's also considered good netiquette to trim the post that you're answering, especially on yahoo groups as they already add a bunch of stuff. That is, you could have probably trimmed almost all of my post (while, of course, answering any specific points *below* the points you were answering) <snicker>. It's a bit different than typical business mails, where you write a quick answer above and leave everything else intact for reference. If you take a look at the list faq, at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/linfaq.html there's a bit on netiquette, with a link to a better page about it. Ok, I'm done lecturing. Oh--and eat your vegetables--no, you can't have the chocolate till after that. Ok, NOW, I'm done lecturing. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angelus: No weapons... no friends... no hope.
