Hi Ben - thanks for joining in. But I don't understand what you are suggesting here - When I boot up I see two options - <F2> to get me into set up and Esc to get me into "grub" after that it starts up all the deamons and goes straight to a GUI with a login window. At that window there appears to be a choice "failsafe" which looks like a simple log in but when that comes up for some reason I can't type anything in. What is and how do I get to the lilo prompt? Or how do I shut a bunch of daemons down?
Still stumped....
