There are two things that you can do. The first may or may not work, while the second will work.
First, when you logon and your machine starts to go haywire, press CRTL-ALT-F1 (like CTRL-ALT-DEL except for the F1 key). This hopefully will get you to your first console window, and you can log in normally. Second, (if the above doesn't work), boot from your installation disk (or some disk that won't run your level 2 startup scripts) and mount your root partition under /mnt. Go to /mnt/etc/rc2.d and rename file SXXxdm (where XX is some 2-digit number) to something like "skip.SXXxdm". Then reboot -- this should prevent xdm from starting at boot-time. Then make your fixes and rename the file back to SXXxdm. Good luck! :-) -- Harmon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
