You could also boot with "linux init=/bin/sh", and run these commands when the prompt appears: # mount / -o remount,rw # mv /etc/inittab.real /etc/inittab # mount / -o remount,ro Then powercycle the machine. Afterwards, you'll have to edit the /etc/apr/sources.list file manually then run apt-get, tasksel or dselect. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
