Glad it works (we knew you chose mgetty somehow). Next time you are stuck like that, rather than re-install why not use the rescue disk (the first boot disk). Boo the machine w/ the disk in and choose the rescue option. This will allow you to mount the filesystem, edit the broke file and reboot.

Bizarre getty issue

Upon installing Debian 2.0 on my Satellite 205CDS laptop (slowly getting rid of NT everywhere!), this laptop, pretty much every 5 minutes, whips out a bunch of error messages relating to /sbin/getty, then suddenly tells me its going to "wait for 5 minutes". I'm not sure where this comes from, as I
