IMHO nobody should be without a live CD such as Knoppix or Mepis or DSL or... See http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php for a more complete list. Download one and boot from that. Then mount the partition on which your root filesystem is located and copy what you need, do any necessary configuration (chroot into the mount if necessary). -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
