I'll try to! :) When you boot SoaS, you'll see a blue screen for one second - press <escape> there quickly - you'll be presented a menu saying in its first entry "boot". Press <tabulator> there. You can now modify the kernel arguments (add rootwait) and boot by pressing <enter> then. This will add it only once, though. Usually, one needs to edit /etc/grub.conf to makesuch a change persistent, but I seem to recall that this didn't work in live images lately... --Sebastian > CU Sascha _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
