i apologize for the barrage of e-mails today... this one is a bit of a necessity though:
i spoke too soon about fixing the computer. after running dselect to (thereotically) put the packages back that were missing before, i then logged out of enlightenment. instead of going to a X Server login, however, i went just to the command line prompt. i tried to reboot, but then it gives me a 'give root password for maintenance (or type control-D for normal startup." i can't use my password and control-D doesn't work! i tried cntrl-alt-del and no luck with that either. so i am stuck at this prompt! all i want to do now is reintall debian from scratch, but how do i get past this prompt? best, and thanks for putting up with these e-mails, nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
