[....] I am now on that machine, running Ubuntu 8.04 on another partition. I have done the following (knowing F8 to be, or have been, installed on /dev/sda3). I see a couple of new things; if any look to be of any use, let me know what to do and how, and I'll try to get what info I can. root@SblzUb:~# cd / root@SblzUb:/# ls bin etc initrd.img media root TEST vmlinuz boot Grubberies initrd.img.old mnt sbin tmp vmlinuz.old cdrom home lib opt srv usr dev initrd lost+found proc sys var root@SblzUb:/# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 TEST root@SblzUb:/# cd TEST root@SblzUb:/TEST# ls bin Grubberies lost+found net root sys var boot halt media opt sbin TEST dev home misc proc selinux tmp etc lib mnt rhinstall-stage2.img srv usr root@SblzUb:/TEST# file rhinstall-stage2.img rhinstall-stage2.img: Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 3.1, 106729893 bytes, 12005 inodes, blocksize: 131072 bytes, created: Wed May 7 21:52:33 2008 root@SblzUb:/TEST# To the best of my knowledge and belief, "halt" and "rhinstall- stage2.img" are new -- and both show up a different color on my screen than most of the rest. I'm not sure whether anything else is new. I'm thinking that rhinstall thing (note the date!), whatever it is, *might* just maybe still contain the bug report, or at least something of interest to those who understand such things. But all I know of .img files is that I have seen that suffix somewhere before. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.16, Opera 9.27, Firefox 2.0 Remember I know little (precious little!) of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
