Any ideas? Err, I checked it out and init is getting called with a "-s" parameter. Don't know why that is. I checked out main() in init_main.c for the kernel, and it calls "init -s " if howtoboot is set with the single user flag, but I can't find where this is set. What do I need to do to get init to be called normally (multiuser?). -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email. NO BIG SIGS!
