    Boy! You really did it. Of course you can't boot up your ruined
system. Here is what I would do if faced with it. With RESCUE I would
make a new partition with fdisk and then mkfs.ext3 and then mount both
this and your old system. You will need to make 2 places to mount them to.

    Now use #cp -a /home /where the partition is mounted. I did this on
mine and so far 3 months it is perfect. Of course if you already did
this your ahead of the game.

    Now I would use the F7 DVD and upgrade the broken with a new one but
be careful not to  delete the old system. With lock it will all come out
good.

Karl,

Thank you so much for this tutorial.

I have no risk of sounding ignorant, as I have already posted my mistake,
therefore I will ask for a little clarification.

I will boot with the rescue and select Rescue existing installation.

Then I will create a new partition on my existing hard drive using fdisk.

I will format it as an ext3 filesystem.

The rescue disk mounts my munged system under mnt/sysimage.

I will create another mount point and mount my new partition to it.

If I have understood this so far then I am only confused here.

I should copy the /home directory of the rescue system to my new partition
or to my munged system?

Thank you, again for your kindness.

Pete

Hi Pete, this will get your /home into a new partition where it will be safe. That is why you make the new one. In the old one now just upgrade from the F7 DVD. That will get you working again. I hope :-)
