At the LILO prompt, type 'linux init=2'. That will get you booting into standard console mode. You may in fact be able to switch to another console even if the X server dies - try Ctrl-Alt-1 (or 2 or 3, etc.). Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
