Depends on the hardware, when things were installed from the net it may be different, but indeed if all the critical commands are not available, it is not a big deal. In fact busybox seems is linked statically, so in fact, if busybox is installed it could be possible to have a working recovery environment with everything but ldconfig. However, I am not sure that booting with busybox init/ shell is that easy. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
