What changes did you make (if any) to your system before the ill fated
boot? Did you change or add anything?

It's all ok now, under someone else's advise I did the
following;
Log in as su and enter init 3 and then entered sax2 -l
made sure that the video settings were ok and saved and
exited. Then when I reboot it seemed to just work.
Thanks for replying guys

Probably an update did that. You logon as user and then fill out the
password.

Personally, I think most sports fans are a little "gay". They'd
rather watch a bunch of sweaty guys jumping all over eachother,
than, say fashion TV - where hot models walk down the runway. |
