That's what I wanted to read, at last. however you still think rebuilding an initrd is easy for newbies, and would not benefit from a new menu entry in rescue, only because it does not happen often? In fact we disagree on the goal of the rescue disk menu, I think. Personnaly i would put in this menu all easy means to recover from well know bad situations (especially for newbies): - corrupted boot sector - corrupted initrd - lost root passwd - FS checks - restore a linux system from a backup ( oops you dont have this tool) - and last console mode for experts for all other difficult cases. that's my view of a good rescue tool from my experience on ibm Aix... I guess our disagrement comes from very different point of view of rescue. -- Pascal Cavy - VMF __________________________________________________________________ Running 1 day, 23:20, 5 users, load average: 0.68, 0.69, 0.47 (gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)) Kernel Linux version 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise
