Cool, I'll try it later on today. I was able to copy the file to my server from a via a nfs connection that was established before my blunder. I kept running into the problem of not having the ability to cp anything since cp used that library file. If the /rescue works then I'll be backup up and running. When this is all fixed I think I'll just upgrade 6.0 since I already downloaded the iso files.
