Hi All, Just as I thought I had SuSE sorted out on my laptop, along comes another glitch. I try to boot my laptop at home and it stops at lpd. I cannot get it to go past lpd. I suppose lpd is looking for the printers I have at work. I tried to boot in singel user mode, to disable lpd in runlevel 3 and 5, but I cannot change anything: readonly filesystem. How can I get it to skip starting up lpd?

After booting to single user mode, try: mount -o remount,rw / That should make your root file system writable so you can disable lpd. I'm not sure about the syntax above since I only have to do that maybe once a year ;) Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net

OK, I tried single user again and this time I got read/write access (probably made a typo the first time) I disabled lpd startup. What can I do to get lpd to start on any network? What can cause this? Any ideas?
