Thanks, I really appreciate it, howevr, for the moment I've found a
way aroud it bi typing " linux single" at the boot prompt. It works
GREAT!
Do you know where I may get a samle config for sendmail that shows the
config for setting up an internet gateway mail on the loacl server to
retrieve mail at home from the local ISP?
I'm totally confused. Yes, I'm a "newbie" too.
I currently have the sendmail process turned off in linuxconf to get
past the boot problem.
The part that I'm having a problem with is the confusion about where
to configure the ISP info.
Thanks for the reply,,, I REALLY DO appreciate it... Thanks... Mike
