A work colleague of mine has just installed Mandrake 6 on his new Toshiba
Satellite 4080 CDT. The install went fine (okay, we had to skip the X config
as i know the video is only supported by a 'custom' X server i have located
for him).

After rebooting into run level 3, the keyboard is locked and you can do
nothing but hit the power button  - networking wasn't setup during install
as it uses a PCMCIA card that wasn't listed - so i thought we'd do it later.
This means i can't telnet on and change runlevels.

I'm at a bit of a loss. If i boot to runlevel 1 using 'linux single'
everything is fine (after fixeing the filesystem problems caused by having
to hit the power button). But i don't know how to strip out all unnesscary
daemons from RL3 - if i run setup from RL1, i only get to set the daemons
that i want loaded for RL1.

Where do i start to get this up and running for him ?? - any ideas ?

Thanks,
Martin.
