When do those play in?
cntl
s and q seemed to do nothing.
So what should ctrl-s and q do?
I was hoping control-s would stop the screen so you could read the
iptables message. Seems to me I have done that before, but not
recently. Maybe it no longer works.
What is prefdm?
prefdm is trying to launch a desktop manager, I
think. Have you tried
booting into text mode or single user? Adding a 3 to the end of the
kernel line will put you in text mode, I think. If X is your problem,
that would work around it.
