-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Don't know if you fixed this or not but I did the same mistake. This is what I did to resolve it. first of all it hosed my /etc/defaults directory so I had to boot into single user mode and then ran mergemaster again. This time I asked it to install all the temporary files instead of merging the new with the old. This gave me back the default files again and it allowed me to boot my machine. I don't know what key I pushed either but it killed my default directory. Ben - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Crist J.
