I did that same thing on a 6.0 install....if you're on a network you're
home free. I telnetted to the Mandrake box, Su'ed to root then edited the
XF86Config file remotely. Of course in my case I knew exactly what I had
changed to make it unbootable so it was easy. If you don't know what to
change in the X config file then change the init level in.......uhh
/etc/inittab? I cna't recall exactly....I'm knew to Linux from FreeBSD.
