Al and Gregory, Thanks to both of you for teaching ME something new to look for. Actually "Console" is an Apple application with a nice GUI. It is found in Utilities. The icon looks like a CRT with a black screen and "WARNING" in yellow pixels written on it. This is the first time that I used it, given your joint hints. --Steve At 11:55 AM -0500 12/15/04, Al Poulin wrote: > I have no clue what to look for in Console mode, which I understand >is also called Single User mode in Terminal.
