hi you could try booting from the first install cd. at the boot: prompt type rescue and it will try to boot from the kernel on the disk with /dev/hda1 as the root partiton. it might not work if you have ext3 or resier as your file system. I think this will give you the command line. peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
