I Can't even get in. I'm at 6.1 and logged in single-usr and have /usr mounted on /dev. Because X expects to find /usr/lib/Y in /usr I csn't use anything very complex; can't poke around.... I very rarely touch /etc/ttys; so why is 6.1 having this tantrum?? I'm lost .... gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
