I have a freebsd 4.3 stable machine that has a login that directly gives me an option menu ... is it possible to disable it and get a normal shell prompt. I have to delete a few files and the options doesnt have that functionality. There are no other accounts available ... I cant even see any files on the machine. It boots few other machines via pxeroot ... but it mounts the filesystem read-only so I cant delete files from there either ... any suggestions ? -pranav ******************************************************************* Pranav A.
