When you say it froze, do you mean the cursor could not be moved? In that case there is probably nothing can be done at that stage. Earlier you might have been able to enter text mode by Ctrl-Alt-F1, or alternatively by using something like Knoppix to edit /etc/inittab and change id:5 to id:3 . Or you could enter grub interactively, and add text to the kernel command. (That is not really a sufficient description.) If this happened to me, I would probably try one of the Fedora Live CDs to see if they have the same problem. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
