I have experienced similar conundrums, but mostly manage to get out of them somehow. A few times it's meant reinstalling from scratch and a week of staying up until 5 am. Typical for this insidious hobby :-) Why don't you try booting with the rescue CD. I do hope you downloaded and burnt it when you got the other iso disks. If you have it, boot with the rescue disc, if you don't you could try editing the grub commandline and entering the word single at the end of the line with 'kernel'. The rescue disc is your best bet. It will locate your system and mount it on /mnt/sysimage. cd to there and ls to verify that you are where you think you are. Once you are certain you are on the right partition, cd etc/rc.d and then edit the rc.local file (I use: ed -p: rc.local). Read up on the command syntax a bit before you do it if you don't know ed. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
