Re: [expert] /bin/login

[Tom Berkley]

floppy boot, load your rescue disk, put your mandrake disk in the cdrom,
mount it (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom), rpm -ivh --nodep 
/mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/util-linux-2.10b-2mdk.i586.rpm
Then do a three finger reboot, remove the floppy and watch it fly again.

PS

Caveat: This is one of the extremely rare occurrences where it is safe
to use the nodep option in rpm.
