After reading the above ref. I am curious as to getting on-line after I boot into Linux. Do I need to have some files available beyond rescue.bin and root.bin? dbootstrap is mentioned as the program to use to continue installing. Do I need this file or is it part of the two previously mentioned files? Do I need a copy of fdisk or is it contained within rescue or root? Do I need the base-x.bin files? AND... Can I download the files to my current C: drive, replace the C: drive with a new hard drive as C: and then plug the old C: back into the system a D: drive and access it and the files it contains? Wow... Do I know what the hell I'm doing? Thanks for your input. Hope you don't feel overwhelmed by all these questions! Robert
