    Pete, Thank you. Now I can get control again. And yes, it had me copy
    /X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh.sample as gdm.sh. I deleted the gdm.sh and now
    it doesn't boot into GNOME.

    WHERE should I have found the magic ctl+alt+F1? Nowhere in the GNOME
    help, is it to be found, Google "exit gnome" and the like didn't find it....

    Jay
