I never tried "mondo recovery OS software" but on my boxes, bootdisks created with "mkbootdisk", work fine. http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/man/man8/mkbootdisk.8.html > Could I boot up from one of the RH 8 distribution disks?

If my memory serves me right, you need some commandline options to load the right kernel and the runtime mode. The best way to find out is: reboot the system, put the disk in the CD-rom and have a look at help texts. If you are lucky you just have to choose the right F-Key to boot it in the way you want it. > Thanks for any info.
