Due to my fiddling, Mandrake now hangs during the boot process after saying, "Starting postfix." During my last session I monkeyed with both fstab and, I think, inittab. Do you have a suggestion where the problem might lie (it's killing me to have to compose this message in Win98)? And while I'm at it, I have a boot floppy; is a rescue floppy something else, and if so, how do I make one? Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ----
