Have you tried using your original FC install CD in rescue mode, which would be the easiest if you can get in. Boot from the CD and type linux rescue (I believe that's right - there's an F key you can press for more info at the prompt). You will get a message about how to mount your existing installation; then you can use whatever text editor you have installed to edit the file. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, Md, USA
