Greetings; Its been hung, but not crashed, the keyboard still works & all that, but I've been looking at the "Configuring kernel parameters" line on screen now for about half an hour. Anybody know what I should kill when I reboot to the rescue disk? Also, which dir, in rc3.d or rc5.d? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
