As long as I can go to text mode with init 3 I guess everything can be reversed (at least with the help of the list ;-) ) .
But if there's a risk to even lose init 3 login I cannot go for that risk...

when I can I try to have two installs in the same computer, as backup :-(
Not that it could be of any use to Daniel now, but even though I have many computers but none mobile, this is one reason (of several) every PC of mine that I did any OS installation on is multiboot. Though it is plenty extra work to initialize, and some extra maintenance, it is better overall than fumbling around _at inopportune times_ for diverse rescue media that may or may turn out to be suitable to task at hand, or trying to solve problems that are easy in Xorg but overwhelming without it.
This is something I never thought about. I should have done this on my laptop, it sounds very reasonable to me. But well, I haven't. It wasn't so important though. I always had a desktop machine and only updated it /after/ a successful update of the laptop, so I always had one running machine. But now I am "on the road" with only this laptop... -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
