Hi. Is most of your stuff on /root or /usr? Bc what you could do is if you have a rescue floppy, you can boot into that and then repair your filesystems. If you don't have a rescue kernel, can you give me a description of some of your hardware i.e., i686? Sound? Etc and I can send you my rescue kernel. That won't really keep you up by any means but it will let you get at the problem. Oh and what does rh have for fs checking fsck? Have you tried running that? Or does rh run it automatically? I know this is what Debian does. microsoft dialogue This company has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, delete winblows and install linux close button On Mon, 30 Sep 2002, Thomas Ward wrote: > Hello, list. I am having a huge crisis, and I do not know how to fix it.
