Looks silly on my part, to make such blunders ... but then !! Being a lazy Sunday afternoon I was fine-tuning my LFS (Linux >From Scratch) partition, and generally playing around with the init process ...
Instead of modifying my $LFS/etc/inittab, I fscked the main /etc/inittab ! One can imagine the plight on reboot ... I did manage some local recovery and set most of it by hand, after booting through my standby distro. I have booted normally now and mailing this ... but I wanted to be sure that things have been set okay ... as per the Slack scheme of things .. Could somebody working on Slackware 7.0, 7.1 or 8.0 send me a copy of /etc/inittab for crosscheck over personal mail? Pl mention your distro version on the reply.

Settings in .bash_profile may not be otherwise effective under X. Copy contents of your .bash_profile to .bashrc to make aliases available. ####<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>######################################## : _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
