(I realize you don't have your discs but maybe you can get them back). Second, many initscript bits and bobs are after this "Press I for interactive" thing. If you hit the 'i' key at that point (I keep my finger on it for a while too) then you will get asked if you actually want to do each initscript action. That saved my bacon the other day when a mount line I had stuck in /etc/rc.local was prompting for a password accidentally but would not accept any input (presumably because it did not have a proper tty). At that point there were no terminals up either. I was able to tell it to skip "local" and could complete the boot and fix it thanks to "interactive mode". I can't recall where the swap init is but maybe this can help. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA38cRjKeDCxMJCTIRAp2nAJ9mz72u9AiDro5zbaxjLLFxYRxkEgCeLxuR LeirtXbui5ZJMWXURP5MNZU= =C3yO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
