I >> actually have to reboot to get out of it... to me, 'plain black screen' indicates nothing, nada, no command prompt. if op had stated that he had a command line, i would have told him to issue 'init 5' to return to 'x'. as i stated, i boot level 3, i do not boot level 5, therefore i have never had need to change from level 5 down to level 1, so i am not aware of it being accessible that way. all tho i would think that it would be. when i have need to use level 1 while i am under 'x', i do so by closing 'x', log out and back in as root and then issue 'init 1'. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
