I'd be surprised if you had many other options besides rebooting with your fingers crossed. One thing that might be worth doing before rebooting is editing /etc/defaults/rcS and changing FSCKFIX=no to FSCKFIX=yes to force e2fsck to do whatever it thinks it has to do without any questions. If this fails, you really will have to get someone physically close to the machine to help to make any more progress :-( > o _ _ _ > --------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) > ------- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ > ------ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nice .sig! -- __ \/ o\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Edinburgh fetish club Permission \ / /\__/ Paul Crowley Nov 8 http://www.hedonism.demon.co.uk/permission /~\
