People's answers to me have set me on the right track and here is what I have observed now. I just can't understand that no one else has noticed this glitch. I made the shifting to init 3 in a terminal more mysterious than it really is. crl-alt-f1 takes you into a terminal. Login as root and run init 3. The machine seems to be hung but typing ctl-alt-f2 takes you into another terminal window where of course you are not logged on. Then typing ctrl-alt-f1 again will take you back to the first terminal where you are logged on and in into level 3. So as people have suggested the going into init level 3 is occurring but what is not occurring is the last step in a problem we used to have on previous fedoras where going into init 3 would stop at the anacron stop step. To get a prompt you would have to hit return. Now the return is not accepted and the machine seems to be hung. Maybe a bugzilla is needed. -- ======================================================================= The problem with any unwritten law is that you don't know where to go to erase it. -- Glaser and Way ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
