It had to happen someday... I'm in the process of putting together a Linux box to let me explore and learn Linux without disturbing my win95 machine. So far I've got a AMD K5 pr133 with 8meg of ram, two hard drives totalling just over 200 meg, a video card and a network card in a tower case. I'm sharing a monitor, keyboard and mouse with the windows machine. The budget hasn't provided for a floppy yet. I've changed one of the lines in my inittab file that calls NFS ( I think) and now my machine hangs at boot time. The last thing to appear on the screen is a line that says INIT: Version 2.62 And then nothing. Is it possible to abort the load to let me fix the problem ?. I'm a bit reluctant to pull the floppy drive from my other computer (still under warranty). I've tried holding ALT and then entering Linux single at the boot prompt but it still hangs in the same place. I'm running Slackware. If anyone can stop laughing long enough to help me it would be appreciated ! John.
