A question better for questions@, but since we're here... 1. Boot a LiveCD. 2. Go into a rescue shell. 3. Mount your root under /mnt . 4. Fire up your favorite editor editing /mnt/etc/ttys (memory serves me correctly your choices are /rescue/ee and /rescue/vi ). 5. Save. 6. reboot. Cheers, -Garrett
