Get into single user mode and do a mount / mount /usr which will mount your root partition as read-write and same with your user partition. > > No, I don't have a fixit disk or emergency boot disk (bad boy, get in the > corner and don't come out until you repent).

Then you should be able to change your shell with chpass to another one. BTW, you might need to do a umount /usr before you exit single user mode, as it might try and mount it again and not be able to. > > Keith > keithl@gil.net > Daniel -- Daniel Baker - Daniel@Cuckoo.COM "Huhuhu, thank you, drive through please"
