OK thanks Sandro I'll give that a try. Since I don't have a cd -rw in the server itself, can I use mkbootdisk to create a disk image, then download that image from the server HD to my home PC and burn a disk on PC, then bring that boot disk to server then boot off that disk on the server? I'm trying to boot from disk on a Linux server, but would have to burn the CD on a W2K machine at home. Unless I buy and install a CD-rw for the server.

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.
