Hi,
SYS: Slackware 9.1 on Dell Dim 2400, Intel Cel
I have go myself into a bit of a fix. I changed the default runlevel from 3
to 4 so I would get a GUI at boot up. However I haven't correctly
configured my Xserver and now my system is stalling at boot-up and I
can find a way to get access to a shell to edit the inittab.
Does anyone know of a switch/arg I could use that might allow me to
boot the system into single users mode? I thought I could boot from my
floppy which prompts me for a command to use.
Any ideas,
Dp.
