I don't remember whether I was the one that installed Linux on that machine in the first place. I might have been. > That or live media is the best option in general... I know above you said > you couldn't use a live CD and I'm quite curious as to why. The machine didn't have a working optical drive. If I'd had a live image on USB that probably would have worked. If I hadn't been hundreds of miles from the nearest computer store, I'd have just bought another optical drive, or a drive dock, or a cable to use the optical drive out of my laptop, or any number of things that would have made it easier to solve the problem. I was motivated to try to solve it using only what happened to be at hand. Eric -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
