David, 'service ipchains stop' allowed me to get in. thanks. As far as pointers, i meant incomplete documentation, responses, etc. but if the above is all i managed to muck up i'm pretty happy with the results (used 'loader'). cant find any log regarding the dasd problem i had. seem to remember that loader was trying to mount or go to a directory which was not there. Then i used dasdfmt and fdasd and also had to mknod and finally mounted the dasd where loader expected them.(as i said before i may have missed a step or something) back to the documentation. there was a 7.2 readme and a 7.2 release notes, in addition to the official redhat installation guide. i found myself refering to all of them at times and there are inconsistancies. do you know how i can have lcs module load on startup? and which redhat tool would i use to reconfigure network from a telnet session? thanks for the help!
