RH6.0 2.2.5-22, everthing was fine until I altered the /etc/hosts. I only

message. Will RH boot past sendmail after a long delay as otheres are
suggesting? Ta. NH

No, no I'm not that stupid! Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I put
something like
127.blah blahlocalhost
192.168.255.255 hollow
in the etc/hosts I cannot remember the exact number, but I only put one not
a range.

Another colleage of mine (a mini linux invasion is taking place at my work)
cannot login any more via xdm.
At level 5 xdm appears on boot, he enters the user details it crashes back
to the prompt (out of X).
At level 3 startx starts X normally. Whats going on - I'm unable to help

I've altered my /etc/hosts file and now my machine won't boot. I added an ip

I did this cause I found a webpage that said if I didn't I wouldn't be able
to use X when I was online.
Oh experts out there, its question time

Do an interenet search for supported hardware. If your card is not
supported you may be able to use either the VGA or SVGA server. I used

Thanks for all your help on this one. I have got the card working but not
w/o futher issues. There were two problems. One I had not plugged the

linux soundcard compatability pages I found some guidence. These pages
