Sorry, that didn't work either. I tried it with both LILO and GRUB, with
the same results as always.
The next step, I guess, is to boot up with the install CD and do an
install/update. Since I have most of the programs and data on partitions
separate from "/", I shouldn't lose too much stuff when it makes me
format "/" itself.
Thanks,
Jay
