All moved fine till I reached the "cupsd" & "sshd:/usr/sbin/sshd" & "crond" & "atd" daemonds. For all of them I've got the same message, like:"Starting ____: ____: error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0 can't open object file: No Such Folder Or Directory" where "____" is the name of the daemon. At the end of all this stuff I get the black screen with kernel version line above and:"localhost login:" invitation line. So what do I need to do now? Some more thing, would you please reference me to some documentation about all those daemons and kernel arguments(rhgb quiet)? So I could read and understand some more things about it. Tnx again. P. S. I've read about runlevels... but still don't know how to handle this. Where and what I need to type if I want to run some of them? -- Best regards, Ivan mailto:bravo.elf@xxxxxxxxx
