There was a similar question few days/weeks ago; the way I do it is to boot off an install cd, mount the system fs at /mnt/foo; and do chroot /mnt/foo. Then I can play with the system, as if I booted normally. The tricky part is to resolve which partition your system resides on ;-) > I have an old SuSE CD, where I have the option 'boot installed system', > where I could boot my system just to run lilo and then reboot regularly. Maybe you'd be even able to use this; I tend to use the Debian Binary-1 CD. HTH, YMMW. Jan. -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 9
