Whoops...editing/bypassing the rc.local script?

Fenster · 2004-10-19 22:24:55

I added something to my rc.local script that's stopping me from booting up. I tried Knoppix, but it apparently doesn't support writing to hard drives (using 3.4 here). I basically need to remove or even comment out a single line from the script, but I can't boot in to do it. What would be the best way of going about it? :D
