Nutshell, I messed up the installation of 4.0 and reinstalled by Upgrade from my 3.2 CD. The machine boots to the date stage and hangs. I can, however, telnet in from this platform into root (!flame, please). As root from this xterm, I'm about to re-CVSup everything. Any idea what could be hanging the console and preventing it from giving me a login prompt?? tia, gents, gary -- Gary D.
