linux single That will get you up without the firewall and logged in as root in a console. Now go to /etv/security/limits.conf and see the file size limit line and change it to 4000000 or something even more obscene. There is a spurious /tmp file geerated in going to root via su in the earlier kernels which is very large but does not actually exist. Anyway, the file size limit catches it and gigs you. Oh yes, you will need to use a text-based editor, emacs or vi, or jed, joe, pico or nano if you have them installed. Civileme
