Dear Gentlemen, I was reading "The Complete FreeBSD" book from Greg Lehey, and I just installed X11 with no problem. The problem is that I installed "xdm" as the book says... I mean: 1) I added the following line to "/etc/ttys": ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure I reboot and after that I switch to a graphics mode where it asks me the login and password. FreeBSD seems to accept me, but after a second it logs me out. I canīt log as a superuser neither. I supposed I had to boot in single user mode, but from that mode it doesnīt let me neither modify /etc/ttys (I canīt start any editor) nor delete that file (it tells me itīs read only). What can I do? Yours faithfully, Ricardo Nunez
