<snip> One solution is to boot from the CD. After selecting the keyboard, select "rescue system". On the command prompt log in as root with no password. Mount the drive the drive on which linux is installed and navigate to the above file. Edit the file with vim and reset it to default parameters and save it. Before starting vim, a good idea is to get some basic commands on how to edit and save files in vim. Alternatively, if there is a floppy disc formatted as FAT32, this file can be copied to the floppy, edited on another machine and then copied back. If all else fails, the file could be renamed and the pc booted. Hopefully, if there is not a configuration file, the defaults might be used, or an error message given that a config file is not available. Try this as a last resort. Regards. LW999
