Hi everyone,

Sorry about this - complete newb to linux.  I changed network settings trying
to install a wireless network card, and another lan connection using the
gui interface in KDE, now I can't access the system at all.

I think the problem is that the files /usr/sbin/pconf and /etc/hosts both
show http://thesite.com instead of localhost now.  I can access the failsafe
program and I can read these files, I can open emacs but I've no idea how
to change this so I can get into the gui interface again as localhost.

Hope this is specific enough, struggling!!
Thanks,
Darragh

You do create interesting problems. To fix /etc/hosts, try something like "echo 127.0.0.1 localhost.localnet localhost > /etc/hosts". This should get you back up and running. I am not sure what to do about pconf, as I do not have the file on this system.
