Try to wrap your lines about about 70 characters or so. On Thu, 27 Jun 1996, PenDragon NS wrote: > After using novice install and during the post-configuration, I recieved a "fatal error 11 caught! I'm dead!" message. I had to reboot. The kernel loads fine but once bootup begins querying daemons I get messages saying login, password, hostname, domain are bad or don't exist. At the end of it all, it keeps asking me to log in. Is there anyway to fix this without completely reinstaling? Boots just fine. Some of the post-install may not have been completed, you'll have to go into /etc/sysconfig and make it match your config. The login prompt is totally normal. login as 'root', no password, and use 'adduser' to make an account for yourself, then use that and 'su' from here on out. (You'll have to add your new account to group 'wheel' and 'operator', you can do that from adduser) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
