I assume that you still have your RH installation disk. Go to your Windoze
machine, put the disk in, and create a bootable linux disk:
E:\dosutils\rawrite.exe E:\images\boot.img (from your DOS prompt, and E is
your CD-ROM drive letter).
Once the bootable floppy disk is created with the default kernel, your will
be able to get to your file system and modify rc.local file. Just boot off
this floppy and you are all set.
HTH,
DR
PS all other methods suggested earlier work too (single mode, interactive
boot etc.). And keep that floppy for another rainy day :-)

Subject: Attempt at rc.firewall with ipchains - Now can't boot
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here goes the newbie again - I believe that this is a "duh"
situation. I write a ipchains firewall based on Ziegler's
book. When I went to reboot the process hangs at "lo" and I
think that I have blocked the computer from it's own local
port.
The question: How to get going again. My current plan is
to do an upgrade with the original RH 6.2 CD hoping that the
rc.firewall which is called from rc.local will not run if
rc.local is replaced and the orininal installed version is
saved as a copy. I'm not sure that this will happen, but is
there any other way around this dilemma. Don't ask for the
rescue disk because my office manager, not realising what it
was and needing a floppy reformated it and used in an a
Windows machine :(((((((((
I have other questions regarding dhcpd for another post.
TIA
Bob
