At first I tried single user mode but had no editing permissions. Then I noticed that I had only thr root slice mounted. So I found out how to mount the rest of the file system(mount -a) and did that. Then I used the logon command to logon as root. Then I made the necessary changes. Thanks for your suggestion, I will sure try it. Andriy Babiy wrote: > Hi KK, thanks. I have tried ctrl+ald+bspace but got a black screen for > a split sec abd got right back to KDM login.

You may want to try sysinstall -> Fixit, then fix the problem in the shell. Andriy
