I am a little nervous to try it right now... I removed
the keyboard service from /etc/init.d and my system is
back up, but I have an art reception on Sunday (as
well as a play that I am putting on for it also
including my art, poetry, music and dance) so I may
wait till after the event before I try and tackle this
error.
Another potential problem I may have is that I use LVM
for /usr (xfs) /var (xfs) and /home (reiserfs). This
means that if I mess up something and it writes to
/var/log/messages, I may not be able to recover the
messages. I have not had much luck with Mandrake's lvm
in the past when trying to upgrade or use rescue
disks.
One other thing, I have not been able to use the
floppy images as a rescue disk. Is that available on
the cd only?
