I've tried to figure that one out. I've booted using the rescue disk, but
don't have access to the rc.sysinit file and I tried to boot into single
user mode by typing linux 1 at the lilo prompt, but it wouldn't go any
further than before. I keep thinking that it has to do with the cd or the

Hi,
Somehow it must be possible to include additional tt-fonts to the fonts

I assume your settng this up as an internet gateway, sounds like you need
to swap the default route. null out GATEWAY and GATEWAYDEV in

For most people, updating just kernel-2.2.something should do.
