I edited my fstab file to mount a second hard drive I have. I made a mistake, typing "/dec" instead of "/dev", now the system will not boot. I remember having a problem like this before, and somehow I got into a mode, even though the os wouldn't load, where I typed "edit" and it allowed me to edit the file, and reboot.. I absolutely cannot remember, or find how I did this. Anybody have any ideas? Also, this is another problem I have fixed awhile ago, but forgot how :) When I connect to telnet or the ftp server, it takes forever for the login to come up. Before I was told to comment out a line, I beleive, that had to do with resoliving the hostname? Any help with either problem would be appreciated. Thanks, travis troyer _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
