On the commandline: init <runlevel> Such as: init 1 Then, while in single user mode, I check o see if something is still running wild. I kill it if it is. Sometimes I still have to reboot. Not sure what it is about 8.0, but I'm having to reboot a lot more than I've ever had to do with previous releases. -- Secret hacker rule #11: hackers read manuals. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
