Yup, RedHat's mistake. Fortunately, they've realized this. Quote from Release Notes for the next (8.1) Redhat Linux version which is currently in beta: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/phoebe-3/en/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES " o The rescue mode environment (accessed by booting with the "linux rescue" boot-time command) has been enhanced. Numerous requested utilities have been added, and there is now support for activating network interfaces. Commands needed for SCSI tape support are also available. Please test this environment and send us your feedback. " -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd.
