Could you try it in recovery mode? When the system starts booting, hit escape to get into the Grub menu. You should be able to select recovery mode there.

I got some reprieve by rebuilding network/interfaces and re-installing nm. At least the web is back up, but still no mail.

	Sorry for the TP (my BB is the only network I have at the moment).
	I did force updates with dpkg.  In the middle of that, apt performed a restart of nm, and it hung the machine. Only a hard reset helped. Now after the reboot I have no networking.

	Try opening a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and running
	the command < sudo dpkg --configure -a >
