When it freezes, no ctrl-alt-del, no other botton works. So I keep the power
botton pushed for few seconds to turn the power off and then I turn it on
again as usually. After that I get lilo to select one of my two OSs(linux
and dos). Dos is okay but when I select
linux, it starts as usual like saying "Loading linux...........But after a
few [   OK    ]s
it goes something like the next line:
blah blah============================     70%
It's probably fixing something and 70% s being fixed or I don't know. At
some point
it nevet goes ahead. After a long waiting I install a fresh copy again.

Yes I can, how do I start "sndconfig" then!!

Never did it.

I don't have a floppy. I've looked for the "rescue mode" in the linux book I
have but couldn't find anything. Could you please tell me what is it and how
to use it.
