Hi All, Yet another problem... I'm using redhat-config-packages via an XThinPro connection (similar to Exceed) to remove packages from our cluster master node (I need the disk space). I haven't removed Gnone at all, yet it has managed to disappear from the list of installed packages. When I try and reinstall it, it asks for the Psyche Disk #1. Okay I thought, I'll just go and log on to the machine and insert the cd. I now can't log on to the actual machine! Not as root or anyone else. I don't want to reboot the machine, is there anything I can do to get all the packages back? I've tried rpm from the cd, but when I do rpm -q <package name.rpm> it says that the package is not installed, yet when I rpm -i <package name.rpm> it says that the package is installed. Have I hosed my system, or is there a work around available? Andrew Andrew Cannon, Nuclear Technology (J2), NNC Ltd, Booths Hall, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 8QZ.
