i tried to start an X window login console. i made changes in
/etc/rc.local file. but forget to edit the /etc/gttys file. when i tried
to login again, i got a login window. but after i gave the login(root,
the only account i have) and passwd, the login disappeared for a while
and came back again. i now can't even login the system. i tried to login
as single user. i did log in. but i can modify any of the file. it said
"read only file". i could not change file ownership either. chmod did
not work. su command was not available.
i'm in big trouble. help pls. appreciated.
