[TriLUG] USDB issues w/ Fedora2

[Jason Tower]

sounds like a X problem, you should be able to edit the bootloader and 
boot into single user mode (just append a "1" to the boot command).  
change the default runlevel in /etc/inittab from 5 to 3.  failing this, 
use a rescue floppy or knoppix to make the change.  if you're using 
lilo you'll have to reinstall the boot loader as well, grub doesn't 
require this step.
