    I broke my Linux, and now im stuck

    Somebody please help...

    I had successfully installed FC6 (a second time) and had set a screensaver this time around. When i tried to escape from the screensaver it didn't work.

    I tried: ESC, Enter, Arrows (all), Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Alt-F1, Alt-F2....

    I could see the password prompt flash up for a split second and disappear. Tried typing password, still no luck.

    I beat the crap out of the keyboard (pressing nearly every key), then it went black.

    Now the computer seems to be punishing me, it won't boot. I get two FAILED's during boot but they disappear too fast to read.

    Can i fix this without reinstalling a third time?

    boot up in command line mode, log in as root and execute 'startx'. post error message, if any.

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
