Ack, my apologies - I should have mentioned that there's a shell option on the install disk from which you could have disabled your xdm login. Go as if to install; on the screen with the scrollable menu that the installation process walks you through, scroll down the menu and somewhere near the bottom you'll find "Execute a Shell". So you just go straight to that without doing any installing, and you can then mount your HDs by hand and edit the init scripts or whatever. Bit late now, but might come in useful in future. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
