Re: [Sheflug] LOCKED OUT HELP PLEASE

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

In SuSE, graphical log in is run level 3, not 5. That's Red Hat.

Boot your box with:

 linux 1

at the LILO prompt. This will boot without loading any services or
anything. Change inittab, and reboot.

Life would be so much easier if we 
could just look at the source code.
