You will have none of the issues you ran into. Right. The installer in rescue mode 'magically' deals with the stuff like /sys, /proc, and /dev when it chroots you to your installed system. The shell you end up at is all set up properly. You do want to be careful about uname -r: if your system has a newer (or otherwise different, such as centos plus) kernel installed, you will need to specifiy the kernel version manually. > > - KB > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
