I wouldn't do the last part I would do sudo chroot /mountpoint sh - dpkg --purge <list of installed packages> but to fix the bootloader so that it may boot is another issue. I also think it's possible that initram was recreated and got broken, which would make recovery not that easy. Still it's an idea. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
