Hi... I was trying to disable the console screensaver, and found that in sysinstall, there is no way to select "none" as an option. So I went and edited /etc/rc.conf to comment out the line:- Saver="fire" (or whatever it is) I put a ; at the beginning of the line, and now FreeBSD wont come up, showing an error (unexpected ;) and leaving me with a # prompt. How do I get to re-edit rc.conf, to correct the problem, as all command line commands result in a "not found" error. Also. What's the "Correct" way to disable a console screensaver? Sysinstall alows you to select and enable one, but not remove it! Bit of an oversight that I suspect.... Regards. Dave B. (Chief numpty!)
