I tried that, but after I entered my /home password the boot continued and then stopped. After waiting fifteen minutes or so I concluded that the machine hanged. I tried using the recovery mode from GRUB, but that hahged the machine as well. I then tried rescue mode from the installation disk. If it is possible to use that to put the Yes back, I could not figure it out. What do I do now?
