I'm used to using graphical tools like mcc and tksysv but if you can't get it to boot into anything but single user mode you won't be able to use those. Now as far as I can see, in /etc/init.d "internet" looks for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up. if it locates it then it starts up your internet connection. else it skips that. rename /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up1. init won't find "net_cnx_up" now. then back at the prompt you can switch to runlevel 3 or 5 (telinit 3 or telinit 5) or reboot. I've never had to do this myself so someone correct me if I'm wrong. -- _||_ Registered linux user #300600 (o_ Registered linux machine # 185855 //\ at V_/_ http://counter.li.org
