RE: [TCLUG:1289] Network Party



My only question would be why do you need to find a different computer to   
telnet from to shutdown your box?  Use the F-keys to pull up another   
virtual terminal, login, and shutdown.  It's been a while since I've done   
this, exact syntax is something simple like alt-F1, this is probably in   
the FAQ's.  Slackware used to come set up with 8 virtual terminals by   
default.  XDM used virtual terminal 7, leaving F1-F6 and F8 available for   
text logins.

Heh.. I'm sure a lot of us have had this problem..  I have, at least..
Fortunately my roommate for the year has a computer that is
networkable..  Last year my rommate had a Macintosh with a M68030
processor..  I had to go trudging through the halls looking for someone
I could shove off their box..
