hey all, thanks for all the tips. problem is system won't let me run fsck -p, but i was able to mount the partition where my /usr is, so i was able to edit /ect/fstab and make the system look in the right places.
thanks a lot to all of you. i really appreciate it. --- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Giorgos > Keramidas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> typed: > > Nah.
