Mike, No log in. The Redhat graphical login screen is where it hangs. The keyboard and mouse have no effect on the screen and I can't put the username in. However, when I look at the machine from a WinMe box the drives are accessible. Selecting 's' from Grub doesn't leave me any hints on screen. What would the command be? I'll try the CD soon.
