yup. i've done all that already. i believe i copy/pasted the script i'm using if i need to destroy/recreate my /dev/hde1 (or /dev/hda1) parititon and then re-copy the data back to it. if you read my post, i'm doing something unique. other then that, the boot/rescue cdrom works for all other general purposes. it just fails to re-install the boot loader for the scenario that i'm giving it. no biggy. > -- > Todd Lyons -- MandrakeSoft, Inc. http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ > UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because > that would also stop you from doing clever things. -- Doug Gwyn > Cooker Version mandrake-release-8.3-0.2mdk Kernel 2.4.18-18mdk -- Roger ----- Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my HomePage: http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/about/index.html
