I actually found this quite obvious. The screen it shows up with the choices of os's says on it something along the lines of "...press 'a' to append kernel options...". Then it gives you the kernel line to an edit. This is what the one that came with RH7.3 says. Just had to resort to it myself, as I messed up my XFree86.conf.Richard rote:Has lilo been prefered over grub for reasons worth mentioning for us?I don't know, but I tried grub on a 486 and immediately ditched it and replaced it with lilo when I found there seemed to be no [documented] way of booting the system into single-user mode from grub. Maybe it's there but it's blindingly non-obvious, so grub is not something I could let end-users install. Whatever lilo's other defects, "linux 1" is well documented and easy to remember.
Is there an easy way to stop gdm cutting in without going into single user mode?
Arthur.
